What is the best way to teach a dog to play fetch? We rescued our Finny 3 months ago from HUA. He's an amazing dog and loves to jump. He looks like he's made for fetch and especially soft frisbee but I can't get him to catch or bring anything back. Help! Thanks. Finny is estimated to be 1 1/2 yrs old and is 27 lbs. His vertical leap is better than most NBA players. I just want to get him playing with the frisbee etc. Of course, I have to learn how to throw the darn thing myself.
