@@chrisscinta1973 be prepared to wait your dog out. Some dogs take awhile to pick it up the first time. I recommend tossing on the floor while watching TV so you have something else to do instead of waiting and getting frustrated. Some people have to reward sniffing the fetch stick at the beginning, then gradually wait for more interaction.
This is fantastic! My Dobe could care less about retrieving anything. He's got good food drive like Maverick....so I think this will work. Will be fun for us. Going to Home Depot tomorrow! And yes.....Maverick has a very pretty sit❤
@@andreabelt10 thank you! I’m hoping even if something I post doesn’t work, it will help you think outside the box and come up with something that will work.
@@lindamcmanus5807 be prepared to wait awhile for the first couple times they pick it up. Some dogs think you’re setting them up. Some dogs are very good at waiting you out until you either help them or give up.
@@lindamcmanus5807 depends on the size of your dog. Aussies and border collies in my trick class did well on 1” PVC. Don’t go smaller than 3/4” (my 9 lb dog did fine on this size) because the inside dimensions are not big enough to fit treats.
Thank you for this. I’ve been so frustrated trying to teach this retrieve.
