Next, teach your dog to pick up items on the ground, and the dog owner issues a grab command while rolling the item on the ground so that the dog can associate the item with the command. If your dog doesn't understand and remains silent, you must repeatedly push the dog's head to force it to lower its head and pick up the object.
