I've been working on Mia picking up non-tennis ball objects and retrieving them. Here's where we're at.

I'd like to work on holding items till released but she spits them out right away which is why I introduced the box to try to get her to not just bite and spit out. That's working but I still can't get her to take it from my hand then just hold it.
Also we work on all 4 in the box a lot so she does that still sometimes, lol.
Also want to brag. Not very long ago she wouldn't play tug in the presence of balls and food.
