Fetch

[KittyGurl]

We just got Duke from the ASPCA on Monday. His previsous owners never tought him sit, down, stay, drop it and all the other tricks they are suppose to know.He was also never at the park so I'm not sure what they did with him.
Thanks for the advice. I'll try it next time we go to the park

Guess what...I took Duke to the park and he almost got the fetch thing down. I throw the ball and he chases it and tackles it. Chews it, but drops it and runs away from me! Silly dog...

As soon as Duke picks up the ball give lots of praise. Once he starts to learn picking the ball up ball = praise, you can start trying to get him to carry it a few steps. You could try running off in the opersite direction once Duke has the ball and acting all excited as you are running away (Well jogging, dont want to worry the boy) .

Goodluck and it is possible.
