No Doubt about it. Although I do understand that some guys just don't have the time or effort to devote to a training program. For those in this situation, bring the dog to heal, give the drop command, if he refuses to drop, hold the bumper and force it futher into his mouth while giving the drop command then take it from his mouth. If he "locks down" on it before you get it clear of his mouth, repeat the command and actions. Atrition is your method for correction with pups.
