Finally , a person who made good tutorial.
Very good a couple of nice points in there I never thought of
Thanks
Great video. I will practice this with my staffy..
Great video on teaching a dog who's never played fetch and isn't really toy motivated. I have a 5 year old terrier mix I adopted a year ago and I really want to teach her fetch. This video helped me understand the teaching process without being too complicated. Thanks a lot!
very good! thanks for the video
gracias!!!!
Wow this is a FANTASTIC video! Thank you so much for making it and sharing it!
Also try throwing it the other direction every other time, instead of always the same direction.
this was very helpful
keep posting vids!
very helpful video :)
OMG made on my bday!
I'll try this. Wish me luck.
Thank so much for this instructional video! I was having the hardest time for months trying to get him to come back to me with a long line. Your tip of jogging backwards was what really did the trick for me. Within 10 minutes my dog was getting the hang of it and was having the time of his life when i praised him each time he came back! Thank so much!
I'm going to keep at with the long line for a few weeks to see how it goes.
I had one question, how long do you suggest each training session be?
We just got done with our first one and it was about 15 minutes long and he was pretty tired at the end.
Thank you again for this great video!
It werks!!
very informative video. my border collie is very good at catching dog disc, even at great distances. the problem is he drops it as soon as he sees me and he wont return it. will try to do it at short distances first. thanks!
Is the tennis ball you used also a squeaky type of ball? Thanks!!
Lot of comments about dogs growling. You need to work on leadership and punishment for that crap
lol---as long as punishment is properly executed with lots of balance....you bet :)
Ok
My dog won't let me grab the ball from him; he will bury it and growl if I touch him or the ball :(
Then you have a serious attitude problem with him and need to address that first. He could just be testing you and almost playfully, dogs do that a lot with growling. Teach him a strong drop it with food and if he actually reacts towards you then you have something completely different to work on first before allowing him to have toys.
Teach him come then leave then fetch, also keep another toy in ur other hand that the dog loves
thepromeraenianqueen my lab doesn’t growl but he will not give it back to me ever.
Until I learned that if I have the exact same ball in my hand or bone in my hand when he gets back from fetching ..he sees it and drops the original one and allows me to throw the one in my hand ... and then the process keeps repeating itself so I can have a good time playing fetch
My 11.5month old staffy x fetches and drops the ball sometimes but others she either doesn't fetch and/or drop. Worse still, if other dogs are playing ball, she will steal their ball and not drop - she sees it as part of play because she knows that they will chase her. Sometimes if no dogs chase her she'll lie down and start tearing the ball apart; if we approach her to take it (even offering treats) she will get up with the ball and move away. I've not tried using long lead to train esp with other dogs around as she tends to get tangled in it and then get frustrated and angry but I will try that at home and at the field.
teaching your dog to drop it can sometimes need to be taught separate for several days. we have video on that too
I'll throw the ball then my dog will get the ball but when he's gonna give it to me he drops it near me but not on my hand. How can I teach my dog to hand me the ball?
My dog is 6 and a half and she’s a German shepherd I have tried to teach her fetch but it didn’t work and idk how to play fetch with her now since she’s not young as she used to be
I got this new kitty and idek how she knew this but she gave me a ball so i threw it and I realized she was bringing it back and I like yay I finally have somebody who wants to play fetch with me unlike my doggy😂
My 9 month old malinois when I start to reel her in she will just let go of the toy even after I run back and have her run toward me and tips??
Jason Rodriguez I wouldn't worry about that too much in the beginning (it's really normal) But there are things you can do to speed up him understanding the concept. If you are using treats to teach 'drop it' simultaneously, find another method just when you are throwing the ball vs. tugging and teaching drop it. For now, when your dog gets to you, praise her (Good) then go back to the toy and point to it, if she doesn't pick it up wiggle it on the ground until she gets so excited she grabs it (if you are too animated she'll want to bite and chase you so find a balance with wiggling just the toy not your body) When she grabs it take a few steps back to get her to bring it to you and then get it and throw it and repeat. If you are still having trouble try bait and switch with two identical toys she loves. Throw one and when she gets it call her while showing her the other toy and act like your about to throw it in the other direction. She'll drop it like normal and come running towards you and when she does throw it and she'll chase it. While that is happening pick up the first toy and repeat. It helps her get in the habit of picking it up and running to you, picking something up and running to you. After several days of that go out there and repeat except don't show her the second toy right away, keep it hidden. She will likely turn and just run back to you excited for the next throw while still holding it. Now this could take a few times or a few weeks before you can effectively go to the next step...just depends on your dogs attention span. I would also make the distance shorter. If you are using 20 feet do 10 feet or even 5 feet. Bottom line there are always options :-) Let me know if you are still struggling in a few weeks or if all goes well.
My pitbull loves to fetch brings it back , but does not like to let go afterward. any advice??
My husky puppy will always bite on the leash rather than play fetch...what do I do??
My wife and I just got a rescued shepherd mix that's 3 years old and we have the same issue, she is not into toys at all. How long did it take your dog to finally play with toys?
3 months he picked up his first toy and squeaked it while we were playing fetch with our other dog
That is my dog. No interest in toys what so ever. I wonder if he used to get in trouble for chewing stuff(I got him aged 2 from animal rescue).
My dog is a red heeler mixed with Australian shepherd. She does fetching great. But only a few times then she gets distracted and wonders off. How can I keep her interested on fetching?
shorter distance throws, more confidence building (if she's nervous) and squeaker toy. Normally I'm not a fan...dogs are attracted to it because it sounds like a dying animal, but if a dog needs to build drive, it can be useful short term or long term.
can you use this method to teach your dog to retrieve birds
I don't see why not, but i have never trained a hunting dog
I have adopted a three year old labrador girl from shelter but she does not like toys.What to do ?
Snehlata Singh you can try Kong toys that have fun treats like bananas or yogurt
I can't get my dog to bring it back even on a long line and moving backwards and being as animated as I can. If he comes back, with or without the line, he drops the toy then runs to me. He won't being me the toy. Many times he lays down with it and when he feels the leash he right away drops the toy before running back. I think chewing on it is more rewarding to him then playing tug (he is a huge tug loving dog) so maybe that is why? We are struggling with this because not only do I want to be able to use toys as a reward during training (since he loves toys more then food) and that is a proper retrieval is a must before toy rewards can be used but I cannot start to teach him the task of picking up items and bring them to me (since he is a service dog in training and that is a much needed task) without this basic step of proper retrieve. I know you said if he drops it, it's ok, but he does it every time. In the house, off a leash, he jumps on the couches rather then back to me and if on a leash he doesn't seem to want to play or if I can get him to play, the min he feels the leash, just like outside, he drops the toy. Maybe I just need to be more patient? I have done this sitting on the floor and throwing it like a foot or 2. I have tried many different ways and he has brought it to me just a few times out of it all.
have you tried holding a squeaky toy? Maybe when he picks up his toy he hears you squeak another and rushes back With the other toy? worth a shot... depending on how old your dog is you can also teach him to hold toys in his mouth and release on command...that will help to.
Ruff Beginnings Rehab Dog Training and Rescue He knows "take it" but he backs up and drops it and wont hold it (so we have a few missing steps to this task) but I have not tried another sqeeky toy. i will try that. i want to teach proper retrival in a fun not at all forced way like what these bird dog trainers are teaching as forced retrieve. i dont even think i can do force hold either though i think i may try to capture it with the handle of a basket or hold it there with my hand for a min and try to capture that way. just the idea of forced retrieve makes me shutter as when watching the videos on how to makes me so sad of the state in which the dog is in. i will try the sqeeky toy thing. Thank you for the help!
Ruff Beginnings Rehab Dog Training and Rescue I was able to get him to bring it not just to me but up to my lap when sitting with a very low level (2 lower then normal working level) on the e collar. I'm not sure if the stim was just enough to get his attention from the toy or what but it worked, every time.
Thx, I'll try that, but once I tried it and he just refused to play with the ball and wanted the food😩
try using another ball to switch out
What do i do if i throw the ball and my dog doesnt even pick it up in her mouth? Sometimes she runs after it, gives it a sniff and carries on walking. Other times she doesnt even chase it. Shes a 3yr old Chiuwawa/Jack Russell. Very smart and she usually listens and learns other games i play with her
shorter distances, more excitement, try a squeaker ball or tug toy.
*****
im thinking of taping small treats to the ball, throwing it and hopign she'll bring them back to me to take the tape off, i tried everything she doesnt wanna fetch lol

How long do you repeat this for? Oliver is almost 3 year Portuguese Water Dog. He can grab objects and retrieve them in occasion or drops them too soon. How can I reinforce the come all way without dropping or stealing the toy?

How old you can teach the puppy to fetch
That looks like my town of Burbank. Is it?
+Route 66 YES!! lol on whitnall :)
Ha, small world! :-D
ya your right. ..that looks like burbank
So I throw it my dog runs she gets it then she looks at runs at me but one the last second she dodges me and I try to get it but she growls at me :(
Hey guys! My dog and I have been struggling with fetch for a couple of months. He’s still a puppy. But he runs after the ball picks it up and brings it half way back drops it and stands near it! How can I get him to bring it back all the way?!
hijipikin try running away from him when he is running back with the toy, this could initiate the chase drive and he will probably follow you. Make sure too reward with treats every time he brings it too you. Good luck still working on my pup too but this has helped me a lot.
the other advice was solid. treats may make him disinterested in the toy. You can try another toy, but that can do the same thing. We like to teach a target like place command for the dog to bring it back to, but honestly, I'd cut your distance shorter...even 6-10 feet and lots of excited recalls and moving back or targeting. Also work on TUG! that is a great way to build some drive first then work on drop it and then fetch
How long do you think it takes for you not to use a leash anymore
I have a 6 month old Labrador
It depends on the dog and the time you put into it...daily/weekly/5 minutes/30/etc.! Took this guy a couple of months because he was on the older side. But he was also ecollar trained to be off leash and have a great recall (come command) in combination with this training so two months and he was in good shape. It all just depends. You have a lab so your focus will probably just be also focusing on a great recall and a drop it command. Then you will be good!
i did not try yet
Can someone help me? My dog will run after it easily and will pick the ball up but won’t return, so I tried this method but whenever I put him on the lead he will run after it but he won’t pick it up but he will walk back to me. I don’t know what to do because it seems like nothing works if anyone can help me please any advice will help.
that's not uncommon...try a target like place, shorter distances and tug and drop it for awhile to build drive
my dog will chase the ball and then touch it with his teath, but he wont pick it up and bring it to me. what do i do?
He may not care for the ball, try to encouraging some tugging with different toys. Squeaky stuff can also help. And work at really short distances in low distraction areas. It can be just a few feet in front of you to start.
what breeed is that??
I think its a German Shepard
German Shepherd
The only way I’ve ever was able to make my dog drop a ball or a bone when he fetched it ...is if I had another one in my hand when he got gets back after retrieving it..
Otherwise he always plays keep away from me. But when he sees I have the exact same bone in my hand or ball in my hand when he gets back from fetching ...he immediately drops it so I could throw the one in my hand and the process just keeps repeating itself
its' a level of leadership and guidance with the dog...needing to be on Leash initially to be taught, etc. , get over past habits. But as long as your pup is happy and so are you, your method is fine :)
Charlie wants to chase me I guess it's chase me Charlie
my dog talk to me
I'm teaching my two month old toy poodle to fetch. It's hard as nut to crack..
SAME
My five year old Border Collie who we just got, just wants to chew up the frisbee I just got her. I throw it to her, she goes crazy, whipping it around in her mouth, and doesn't want me to have it, but does relinquish it.
don't use treats, the ball is reward enough
differentiate between food and play training
That GREATLY depends on the dog alen. They are not all the same.
My dog picks and chews it
Lol same and when I try getting the toy back she bites me and growls
But it's actually funny because she is a small chihuahua and she thinks she's all that
+Penguin Queen my dog is dog like she drinks out the toilet licks the floor and lick me to DEATH🐕🐕🐕🐕
+Penguin Queen chihuahuas so cute🐕😍
Creating fun and drive by giving the dog the ball then taking it away and teasing him with the ball? As soon as my dog got that ball in his mouth he would be gone and I wouldn't get it back that's the problem I've got
alan brown then a video on building drive with the ball like this one wouldn’t be for you.
Ok fair enough but the title was exactly what I'm looking for. I need advice on where to start . He's a staffy cross lerch but he always thinks it's a game of me take what he's got and I'm struggling to turn it around thanks anyways
My dog will come back with the ball and stand on front of me but won't drop

If you are looking for help I'd need more info. Check out my facebook page at ruff beginnings rehab and message me. I'll put your question in our Q and A show.
Does you dog know it’s name?
My puppy will chase after the ball but won't come back.
you need a long line on the dog like in the video and just work on come
***** Eventually she learned on her own to give me the ball if I simply hold out my hand to her. She's improving.
my dog didn't learn anything ! he just watch the ball
LIA and Lanya same
I own a GSD 11 months old, this is probably the worse GSD I have seen. Good Luck
