silly dog

When playing fetch with your dog, place the dog on a long rope (50 ft. or so) to it's collar, this way it has alot of freedom to move around in. Let the dog see the toy, throw it a safe distance, let the dog pic it up and play a short time , call the dog,if it doesn't come, scwat down let the dog notice you and lightly pull the cord calling the dogs name. grab the toy with one hand holding the rope with the other, release the rope, if the dog doesn't release the toy ,rub under the dogs chin untill release, then make a big deal after , showing that your happy. Repeat untill dog understands what is happening. you will soon be able play fetch all the time .. REMEMBER ALWAYS LUV/ CARE FOR YOUR DOG/ PET, THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U..

It also depends on the breed of dog. You won't expect a toy-dog to play fetch (unless well trained) but on the other hand, a labradore retriever needs NO training at all to play fetch (maybe a little touch up on the dropping off) but its in it's nature. It was bred to fetch - when a hunter shot a bird, the labby would watch it fall, find it, and bring it back to the gunman. A good way to train your dog is to throw a toy, wait for her to run for it and grab it. Once she has it in her mouth, call her to you, either by voice only, or with a little incentive such as food. If you're using an incentive, make sure she doesn't drop her toy and run for the food. If she does, don't give and throw the toy again. Personally, I feel calling them is better than giving them done, in this way they are doing it for YOU and not the FOOD! It works much better if you're sitting on the floor. When she comes back with her toy, don't force her to let go of it, but instead praise her for coming back. She'll then realise that by retrieving her toy, she is pleasing you, and will want to do it more and more for you. And soon, she'll automatically release the toy saying, 'throw the toy for me please! I want to bring it back so you can be pleased' - don't forget to keep on praising her.

This is just a dog. He plays and he makes everything he wants. My for example eats when I am out of the room. I place his food on his plate, but when I am there he doesn't want to eat. So don't disturb. Every living creature is different.

Well, I think it is to go and get the toy till he gets ir he is supposed to bring it back to you, that's what I did with mine.

I guess it depends on your dogs age. Maybe teach it to drop it by taking it out of its mouth and placing it in front of you. But I know from experience that this might be hard to do as my dog never learned to bring anything back to me. He would just get it and play with it in any way. I would get the toy from him and he would usually chase me around for it which might be more fun to do than just playing fetch. Think about how people learn, they usually learn from doing, and also gaining something will help them remember what to do to get that. Dog trainers usually teach a dog by showing them what they want and then rewarding them if they do it. This should teach the dog that by doing what you showed them will give them a reward. That will probably be the easiest way to teach your dog to do fetch. Hope this helps. :)
