Happy Training!
As someone with ADHD, I really appreciate that you have the timed blue bars for each section! It helps me stay focused for each small section when the video is long.
It’s so funny to me when people think y’all use trained dogs in the videos as though y’all aren’t professional dog trainers with more skills and experience than the average bear. Hoping to be as calm and patient as Kayl when I bring my pup home!
Thanks for this different approach to teaching fetch. My girl Lucy is almost 3 & never really caught on to fetch when she was younger. She’s a sensitive dog, so my training with her has had to change & go much slower, calmer & gentler to accommodate this. Overcoming the motion of throwing an item was a milestone in itself. I’ve been trying to teach fetch for a while with different methods & kept getting stuck on the retrieve part of the fetch. Lucy would chase & paw at the thrown item but wouldn’t pick it up & bring it back.
After one week of teaching this method Lucy is well on her way to mastering fetch. In this mornings session she was anticipating the throws & getting very excited to chase & retrieve!!!
Excellent advice! The game of tug when they return to you is critical, this totally changed things for our pup. Also, leaving her wanting more makes every new game even _more_ exciting! She SPRINTS back to us every time now, it's incredible (and adorable)!!!
This is the only video that worked for my westie! I tried a lot of ways to teach him fetch but didn’t work. This video literally guided me to break it down into small steps and helped me to make progress little by little! Thank you so much! ❤
We are getting a puppy in a month - this is by far my favorite chanell to watch in preparation! 👍🏻
Same here ! Most I do all day long is watching this Chanel! I am sure training a puppy will not be as easy as it looks in here .
it won't be
Another mistake people make is pretending to throw the toy and hiding it behind your back. My husband did this with our last puppy and he ended up being a retriever that refused to retrieve! lol. On a side note, I love your videos!! I've been watching all week in preparation for my new puppy on Saturday.
My Pomeranian has been hesitant to actually go after the toy, nevermind bringing it back! But tonight (8/12/21) for some reason, he decided to start to fetch. I was excited but wished he had picked better weather. It was HOT ☀️🔥 and humid with no breeze. He lasted about five very enthusiastic fetches then was ready to go back inside. 🙄☺️ Here's hoping when the weather cools, he'll be willing to fetch again. 🤔
How does this work with a dog who resource guards? My dog is highly treat motivated but would not take kindly to me trying to take back a toy with food in it. In those cases I have to trade with him to get him to willingly give up the toy. The problem then becomes he stops fetching as I have the treats as opposed to the toy containing treats.
Very good information. LOL, very helpful, thanks
I loved the troubleshooting portion of the video! It’s really helpful to know what to do when it doesn’t go right.
Your training sessions always put a smile on my face ☺️
you are wonderful!
If I use an old sock , wouldn't that teach my dog to eat my good socks ? :) Excellent video. Love your channel 😍
Excellent training tips & easy to incorporate.
Thanks
Westies are the best. I have a 15 year old westie and would love to rescue another. He’s also super food motivated and it was very easy to train him.
Thank you so much fro making these videos! They help so much for me to learn how to train a dog and get all prepared ❤
My dog is food obsessed. I’ve been trying to find a way to get him to play fetch. This was so helpful! Thank you!
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you for the great videos!
Excellent training video! This is the structure all training videos should be.
I’m so happy when i saw this video! I’m getting a westie soon and i am following ur chanell
This is exactly how our dog does fetch! Thanks so much for this helpful video. We’re going to have fun working with him.
Any advice on how to transition away from a toy like this, to just a ball for example?
Wow thank you! Just what I was looking for.
My small dog is highly food motivated but doesn’t like toys and I would love to play fetch with him for bonding, exercise etc.
Now I can try with your video! This is perfect!
Hello! I'm a big fan and promoter of McCann dog training channel! Can't thank you enough for quality content without any fillers! 🙏 I'm seeking your advice on how much fetch is healthy for my 26lb super active dog. She just can't get enough. Clearly she doesn't understand how much is safe for her. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
We had a dog very similar to Barney that was a rescue and a blast to play with. It was bittersweet to watch Barney and remember him. We adopted what we think is a corgi- chihuahua mix that is 7 years old and she has zero play drive, but is food motivated. She's a little stubborn, but smart so I'm going to try to teach her this. Thanks for all you do.
Amazing…..I will definitely be using this at home.
Thank you
Yay
Loved your video! Have a 7 year old boxer who doesn't like toys or balls. Followed your instructions with a tug toy I made. My dog got soooooo excited! He is extremely strong & clawed at me when playing tug!! That was unexpected & uncomfortable. Any advice on how to prevent the clawing?
What if the puppy drops the toy half way coming back. He would rather chase me without the toy?
I have a similar problem. My dogs will quickly run TO the toy, sniff it, then runs back to me without ever picking the toy up. 😒
What kind of treats are good to use? What do you use?
So I need some advice, my 3 month old border collie puppy keeps running towards our house on the way home of a walk. She doesn’t pull on the walk but a soon as she sees our house she starts running and pulling, so any advice?
A couple of questions. I noticed that you get down on the ground in the beginning, I am somewhat disabled in that I can't run and I can't get up once I am down on the ground, especially quickly. How can I train my dog, (6 years old) to do the early stages of this without getting down on the ground with him? Also, I live in a very small one bedroom apartment, with very little space for play. What ideas do you have for a place to go that is not going to give too many distractions? My dog is somewhat food motivated, but not at all toy motivated. If you can help me on this I would really appreciate it. Thank you for all that you do through your videos.
This video is amazing! I’m struggling to find a toy like the one you have here! Where should I shop?

Thank you Kayl you’re amazing. Our problem is our pups bring it back but don’t want to drop it out of their mouths. They put the death grip on the toy and it turns into a tug match or prying their mouth open to get it back. We’ve been working on “drop it” because when we say “out” we mean “outside”. The “drop it” isn’t always successful. Any tricks to get them to drop it?

@@McCannDogs Thank you! I’ll check it out
I fetch and bring it back just fine. It's dropping it after where I refuse 😂

I taught my cockapoo to retrieve but made mistake that dropping at my feet is okay. I recently had a retinal hemorrhage and am not supposed to bend forward so now i see my mistake. How do I fix this?
How are you so good at this??! I know you’re a pro and all your bona fides but still… this is like sorcery… I don’t know how you figure all this stuff out..
Our pup loves playing tug. Whenever we play with a ball, he loves going to fetch and brining it back, but doesn't want to drop it. He would rather play tug with the ball - obviously not a great idea.
How can we teach him to drop the ball?
What are your favorite training treats for puppies ? Thank you !
Of course when playing fetch, the dog has to be willing to go after the fetch item. My Pomeranian didn't get that memo. 🙄🤦
Is there a reason you don’t recommend giving a food reward when the dog brings the toy back? I’m referring to a dog that has good toy and food drive.
Can I use 50 feet long leash to make sure my dog doesn't run off?
I was just watching first day with Euker. I bought a snuggle buddy with heartbeat that comes with warming pads that go inside.
But now I see that you don't have anything in her crate.
Was the snuggle buddy purchase a mistake on my part?
We haven't brought our pup home yet.
We brought our pup home at 8 weeks and I was also concerned that if she didn’t have anything in her crate it might make her feel cold and lonely - I decided that as the McCanns don’t put anything in the crate because of potty training issues I would see how it went with a comforting bed in the crate. The crate was small enough that she couldn’t push the bed out of the way in order to pee, and it all worked out fine. I would try with the snuggle buddy and see how it goes - you can always try afterwards without it, if if it doesn’t work out. Good luck!
My westie had this already programmed in. It lasted for about 3 throws, then she wasn't interested. My shih tzu also came with build in fetch skill, but she can go on forever. 😂
LOL
Hi I have a Belgian Shepherd or 10 weeks old and when I do that it really scratches my arms very much, accidentally and I have a scratched in all my hands, some of them kind of dip. What can I do?
Hi Gustavo. My Westie did the same at that age. When he bites you, even if it is a gentle nib just say "ouch" as if it really hurt but don’t remove your hand fast as it may motivate him to chase the hand. Keep doing this and be consistent and he will grow out of that habit
I need to train my dog to retrieve too but she's on a diet to loose weight to get spayed. I was using plain chicken bits but she's started nawing at her paws, someone said it could be the chicken. She's 2 yrs old and weighs 27.4kg (lab retriever) & on 400g of raw meat per day. How do I train without food as she's highly highly food motivated
Instinct has freeze dried meat and veggies in various different proteins
in a highly food motivated dog. I would be concerned about them swallowing, or attempting to swallow a sock whole.
I do a lot of frisbee with my dog and he is amazing BUT he tends to chew on the frisbee, so I have to buy new frisbees regularly. How can I teach him not to chew the frisbees?
Like
They so goofster
Is that too many treats?
I don’t think you could find a cuter dog.
