Please don't take this the wrong way, just a different point of view.  But break sticks? 

We teach them to let go from a pup, when they are told.  I start with a whippy stick on the nose as a pup and then normally use a hat across the face when they are grown.  I think it helps to teach them (or force them) to "sit" or do something when they first start out catching as a pup.  It uses the "thinking" part of the brain rather than the "instinctive" part.   

Of course very few people use pure pits here though.  We run what you would call running catch dogs.
