I discovered that Leo now knows "Drop It".
I never officially trained it, just would say it when he was dropping the toy anyways, like when I was playing fetch with him with two balls. I was going to "get to it eventually" and train/teach it officially.
But, without really thinking about it, I asked him to "drop it" when we were playing tug (a situation I had never asked it of him before), and down the toy went. Tested it a few more times to see if it was a fluke, and sure enough, he does it consistently.
I am very pleased with this. I love how smart border collies are
