Grabbing
Any tips on how to make Ella not grab the ball from my hands before I throw it. She loves tennis balls so much and fetches it back when I throw it but if I dont throw it quick enough she grabs it so quickly. today she actually grabbed my finger at the same time....ouch....those jaws are strong lol. I tell her no, but like a child she dosnt hear no.

Re: Grabbing
I would teach her a wait command, ideally sit and wait, while you get ready to throw it

Re: Grabbing
Keep at it, try teaching the command with something else, then you can transfer it to the ball

Re: Grabbing
As Saz has said sit and wait command, perhaps treat her also when she has waited a few seconds. Then try throwing the ball. Keep at it sure it will click.
