    @xJaffaBobx

    lol mine too, how to teach that huh!

  3. SepherClaw says:

    Woot best video ever taught my dog to fetch in seconds and he is usully the hardest dog to teach because of his short attention span.

  4. Econon1 says:

    That was helpful but my dog has the shortest attention span ever. She’s running after it and then she would see something like a bottle cap and then just play with that for twenty minutes.

    Working with two fetch items instead of one, that is a wonderful tip! Thank you! I’m going to try that right away. :D

    like the video

  7. tab289 says:

    That’s great that you know what she likes. Food can be a strong motivator, and so can petting! Check out a tutorial I made on fetch not long ago. Let me know if it helps :-)

  8. xJaffaBobx says:

    my dog runs off and doesn’t come back with the ball..

  9. billmill1 says:

    Thank you so much for this advice – it works like a dream! Our dog REALLY enjoyed himself and I’m quite excited about playing in the park tomorrow – fingers crossed he doesn’t get bored with it :-)

  10. ThePeefer94 says:

    use somthin that intrests him that he likes not what u want him to play with then eventuelly switch

  11. slicksps says:

    This really did work. Unfortunately my dog is now wise to this trick and now flat out refuses to drop the ball unless something distracts his attention and he runs off to sniff… leaving his ball THERE for me to collect. We’ve spent up to 15 minutes just staring in the park and I’m now losing patience. I spent 10 minutes yesterday trying to get him to drop. A stranger walks up, asks him to drop and he does immediately… 3 times… I’m starting to think this is personal :)

    the best ive gotten to make my dog fetch is when i take is toy from his mouth. throw . and he comes back with it in his mouth. i wil try this soon once i find a toy he likes.. hes very picky on his toys. ………………yorkie

    BrendanHoag and sundalo47.
    Your dogs can be adults, so they don’t want to play. I’ve got a 5months old dog, he loves playing:)

  14. BrendanHoag says:

    MY DOG HAS NO INTEREST IN BALLS, TOYS, or ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER. SHE KNOWS HOW TO EAT, AND GET PET. WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE TO TRAIN HER!?!?!?!?

  15. mayazazu says:

    what if my dog doesn’t actually come back to me? He just runs to the ball and picks it up. Then he just lies down with it in his mouth. he doesn’t come to me.

  16. sundalo47 says:

    what if my dog has absolutely no interest in the ball?
    what should i do then???

  17. MonchichiGuy says:

    you have to get the dog interested in the toy before throwing it.. act like your really enjoying the toy and make sure your dog is watching.. once it seems like your dog is interested try tossing it a few feet and go from there.. hope my advice works

  18. REBEL4DIXIELAND88 says:

    thanks!!!!!!!!!

  19. mayazazu says:

    Cool. I am getting my own Whippet soon, and am watching many videos to prepare. I hope this works for Timy!

  20. azertyuiopqsdfghjkl2 says:

    thx its works

  21. ketharin says:

    Try only throwing the ball a short distance, at first. If your throw it far away, the dog’s more likely to drop it or wander off.

  22. SheSoTalented216 says:

    Maybe it’s because you’re no longer sitting so she is confused about what to do? Try standing in your backyard instead of sitting and see if that changes anything.

  23. chippy922 says:

    thx this helped alot!

  24. 1blockhead1 says:

    Does he like playing with toys that rattle? I’m certain I read somewhere that some dogs will chase a ball that rattles, just a suggestion, I hope you find a method that works!

  25. 1blockhead1 says:

    I forgot to mention that the two ball trick ( you know where you throw one ball and casually let the dog know you have a second ball after it gets the first ball) was the trick that thing that got her fetching in the backyard, but the same trick hasn’t worked yet in open spaces!

    We have now mastered one ball fetching in the backyard,

    Thanks!
