A lot of dogs need to be taught to tug. In fact, in my basic manners class that I am taking with Tiger (all positive clicker training/Victoria Stillwell approved trainer), we did work on proper tugging. This meant teaching those who don't want to tug how to tug properly (confidence building to some degree) and those that tug too voraciously can be taught to be more appropriate tuggers.
