drop it

I was told recently by a friend, with great authority, that you can quickly force a dog to unclench a jaw-hold by going in back of the dog and lifting both rear legs off the ground. Apparently they have no choice but to let go of whatever they have gripped in their jaws. My daughter tried it recently when her large dog did not want to relinquish a pillow he had grabbed onto — as soon as she lifted his legs up, he dropped the pillow.

The above was a letter to the editor. However I could not find anything on the internet that substantiates this.
