Wow that hits home with Oz and I. He use to be really good about taking things from me, when I'd say "Take it". Then during one of his basic obedience classes, to teach "Drop it", they had the dog take like a rawhide type bone in his mouth, then you'd say "Drop it" and use a lil' pressure around their jaw to open their mouth and drop the bone. Welp, two times of doing that and then Oz wouldn't take the bone anymore. He didn't learn "Drop it", he learned don't take anything. I've tried since to teach him to take and hold things and it's a no go. He's a got a memory like an Elephant that dog.
