Master Fetch With Your Dog
Special Interest: Training
We suggest that your dog know how to sit, stay, tug, and come to you before mastering fetch. Not all dogs may like chasing after a ball, stick, or toy. If your dog does, teach him to retrieve and drop the toy properly so you and your dog can enjoy a longer game of fetch.
Take a photo or video or your dog playing fetch! What were the challenges that you had when teaching him to play? What did you do to get your dog to do the right thing? Do you have any advice for anyone else teaching their dog to master fetch?
Help a fellow dog owner! Do you have an adventure story? Contact us and we will link it to this pawtivity or event! Where did you go? What did you do? Please include any useful tips and advice that would help others!
Activities: Training, Obedience, Fetch
Items Needed: Toy, Ball, Stick, Large Fenced In Outdoor Space, Treats
Safety: If your dog has a special condition or problems with his joints consult your vet. Use a ball that is suitable to your dog. For example, puppies may need a softer toy. Larger dogs may need a larger toy to prevent accidental swallowing.

I don’t think I ever really had to teach Carmella to fetch and retrieve a ball. Carmella always went after the ball without a problem! Dropping the ball, however, seems to be something we will always struggle with. I can only distract her with another ball or toy to get her to drop!
