Any advice on getting a green Military working dog to out the Kong?

I’m a green handler who just got put on a green dog. I’ve tried giving her a correction but it seems the only way I can get her to out is if I escape her off. She drops the Kong for Kong transfers but my trainers don’t want me to do that.

Not only do men and women go through great lengths to serve and protect our country, but dogs do too. However, military dogs are termed as mere “equipment” in laws and policies. Military dogs must be treated as soldiers, especially since their lives are put on the line to save others.
