Train dogs to fetch things

1. The most suitable prop to use for fetching objects is a ball, because dogs naturally prefer balls. If you are afraid that the ball will break easily, you can choose a tennis ball with better quality, then use a knife to cut a hole and stuff the dog's favorite food inside, which will be more attractive to the dog.

2. Throw the ball out, and then order the dog to chase the ball. If the dog cannot understand, the owner can point in the direction of the ball and tell the dog.

3. If the dog can successfully retrieve the ball, we must remember to reward it. This is a great encouragement to the dog. We can reward the dog with treats stuffed into the balls. In this way, when the dog meets the pet owner's command, it will automatically chase the ball.

Training dogs to hold things in their mouths

Although some dogs like to chase balls, they don’t like to hold them. This is also an obstacle to getting the dog to pick up the ball. Therefore, pet owners can first train their dogs to learn to hold objects in their mouths.

1. Choose a toy that your dog likes, then hold it and give the hold command.

2. When the dog holds the toy, we let it play for a few seconds, then take out the food and bark to the dog. In subsequent training, we extend the time for the dog to hold the toy, and then talk to the dog again. It calls out to get it used to holding things in its mouth.

3. If the dog throws the toy to the ground while holding it, we need to refuse to reward them so that they can understand that this behavior is wrong.

In fact, training a dog to pick up the ball is a relatively simple training. Generally speaking, through the above two auxiliary training, the dog can pick up the ball by itself. However, for smart dogs and some with low IQ For dogs, the training time may vary, and the owner must be patient on this issue.
