You can also practise the ping pong game on a different surface if your puppy is finding grass too distracting. Grass can be full of interesting smells and sensations, which can make it harder for your puppy to stay focused in the early stages. In this case, switch to a simpler surface like tarmac to help them build the skill with fewer distractions. The exercise remains exactly the same, but by adjusting the environment you’re setting your puppy up for success before gradually progressing back onto grass.
