then you could claim the ball he has dropped with a leave etc, once he is consistenly dropping the ball then add a key word to it.
Hope this helps, good luck

Yes, two balls should be the answer and get the command in on what he does naturally, he will soon get the association and the other ball, it is the chase he wants and the kill - my terrier used to strip a tennis ball down to its bald state in a few seconds!
