This is probably one of the most favorite tricks to dog owners, just because everyone wants to play fetch with his dog.
This article will show you some tips on how to get your dog interested in this game, that is found well worth it for most dogs.
As in anything you teach a dog it is very important to break it into lots and lots of little manageable steps, the first of which will be getting your dog interested and holding the object with their mouth.
Whenever you are teaching your dog something new you need to get down on the ground at the dogs eye level, because it allows you to communicate with the dog a lot more genuinely.
The toy itself is not that important as much as the attitude you are going to have when you are teaching this to your dog.
In dog training enthusiasm is contagious, so if you are going to be very excited about something, the dog is going to develop a similar attitude towards whatever you are doing.
Find a toy he likes and get him interested about it.
Play with him and he will try to put it in his mouth.
It is recommended to always have and use a clicker and treats.
So whenever he puts the toy in his mouth, take it, click and reward him with a treat.
After you do this for a number of times, increase the amount of time the dog is holding the toy in his mouth.
The final thing to do is to throw the toy away from the dog.
Since dogs have a natural tendency to chase they will go for it.
Now to get it back, you need to guide them with body language and encouraging voice.
When he runs toward you, run backwards a little and when it is enough, stop, click and treat him.
All you have to do next is to repeat it until he learns.
