Anyone know where I can get one of those adjustable weight wooden training bucks? None of the dog supply stores have them. :evil:

Use a paint roller instead, even the big box stores carry them. :wink: Do you want your dog biting on wood - hmm, why should the dog have to hold it, then? Force fetch is, or ought to be, about teaching a pup to work through pressure - not about getting to retrieve inanimate weighted objects or 4x4s. If they'll retrieve a feather, rest assured they'll retrieve whatever the feather's a part of - if given the opportunity (and training).
