How to train my puppy 'Fetch and Give'? Can't Post
JOJO know how to fetch but instead of return it to me, she will just try to bite and run away from me.. or else she just try to 'kill' it. Anyone got idea how to train puppy return it to me?

Hi Shirley,

Here goes my version:
  1. First of all, I have to assume Jojo understands 'Come / Come-here' command.
  2. Goto to an empty room ( or where most of the things are being cleared up). This is prevent any distractions.
  3. Get ready some treats in your palm.
  4. Throw his favorite toy, like 5 feet away.
  5. Probably the pup will go for the toy that u just throw. The moment he picks it up, then you issue a 'high-pitch' - 'Come' command, with your open arm.
  6. Hopefully, with that, the pup will come to you.. then u may as well say 'Drop it' and give him the treats. ( Most likely , U need to let him sniff ur palm before he decides to drop the toy! While he's about to drop it, say 'Drop it'. U need some good timing here..Wink )
  7. Of course, remember to praise a lot!
  8. Repeat (3) - (7) Smile


Hope it helps..

Smile

CD Moo

Re: [cdmoo] How to train my puppy 'Fetch and Give'? [In reply to] Can't Post
Hi Mr Moo,

Thanks for the reply. I had tried the guideline u gave me.... but it doesn't work still...Jojo will fetch the favourite toy I throw and when times I ask her 'come', she will come over and then 'kill' the toy and reluctant to give.Crazy If I try to take the toy over from her mouth we will then just start the game tug-of-war.Pirate

Then I tried used food as reward... it works worse, she will just sniff around my palm and concentrate on the food rather than the toy I throw.... OOHHHHHHHHHHH.. HELP??

Other than that, I used food rewards for her training lesson, she can learn 'sit' 'come' 'down' 'roll over' commands very fast..but I wish she can learnt the fetch games so that I can ends up the lesson with the game..Crazy

Re: [shyeow2] How to train my puppy 'Fetch and Give'? [In reply to] Can't Post
The keywords are patience and consistency. Not all breeds know how to fetch things instinctively. For Labs, it's much easier because it is in their genes to retrieve. For other breeds you may take a lot more longer time and patience. I'm lucky with my shih tzu because even though fetching is not her in-born skill but she managed to pick up in two days. And what make me even prouder is that Sunnie is a vision-impared puppy so to fetch is a big achievement for her. Don't give up if your puppy doesn't get it after a few times. Even though Sunnie knows how to do it, I still repeat like 15 - 20 times every session with different objects to make sure she gets the hang of it. A fetch game is made up of a few smaller tricks, for me, it's made up of the commands of "Fetch", "Leave", "Sit" and "Good girl". So to make sure she gets the fetch game right, she has to master the other commands first. You should try with the kind of treat that she loves most. The more she loves the treat, the less you should give it to her and less frequent. This will tell that to get the treat, she has to work hard for it.

Try not to confuse the puppy by the command "come" and "fetch". For dogs, they understand single-word commands better. To them "come" means to come and they may not be able to relate it to come together with the fetch. Try to separate each command exclusively. So maybe you could use the command "fetch" instead of "come". Sunnie is also like that, she will grab the toy in the mouth and reluctant to give and tug with me. But now she has learned to associate the word "good girl" to her treats. She has learned that in order to get her treat, she has to let go of what is in her mouth. If she doesn't let the toy go, I don't try to pull it out but instead show her that I have her favourite treat and when she sees or smells the treat, I will say "Leave" or "good girl" every time, and she will sometimes drop the toy and go for the treat. I do it repetitively the process of - waving the toy at her sight, run after the toy, fetch it back, put the toy down, sit, paw and then treat. If she doesn't get the entire process correct, no treats from me. If she misses one step, I just start from the beginning again and make sure she gets the entire procedure correct. Sometimes I even have to repeat up to 30 times to get it right.

I only play fetch with Sunnie when her energy level is at peak. I don't know if my method suits you but you could always come up with your own method of training her to fetch.

Just my two cents. Hope it helps.
With warm regards,
CY Phang

Wow, Ms. Phang your pup. so talented!!Smile

I don't hav extra empty room for JOJO training lesson, I do it in my living room... but during the lesson 'fetch' game she will only concentrate few min. and then distract by others object and start jumping up and down..Unsure

But I notice she prefer the tug-of-war game more than 'fetch' game.. Shall I stop on the fetch game and carry on the tug-of-war game?? Also JOJO is mongrel, probably is wasting my energy and time to train her??Unsure

I also play the fetch game in the living room. The furthest I have thrown the boomberang is about 3 meters. Yeah, maybe you can concentrate on asking her to leave the toy during the 'tug-of-war' game. Try luring her to drop the toy by treats. Tell her "drop" or "leave" the toy when you show her the treat. If she doesnt drop or leave the toy, then don't give her the treat.

Maybe it's a bit too early to let her master the fetch game for now...

Hi,

As a owner of a mongrel too, I'm not agree with what you said. Yummy is a mongrel that I adopted her from road side. She is now 5 months old. She learned sit, shake hands, and down commands faster that another puppy of mine, Yippi, a Schnauzer. Faster than we expected. Without training of us, yummy know how to open her crate's (large size crate) door, plus the door is not easy to open. Keep patience to train your furkid, you will see the result very soon Wink.

Happy training Smile .

Smile Eliza

I can really pengsan with JOJO..

i try to do this slowly... firstly i use biskut as the reward.. she doesn't seems much interested, so i change to meat.. to avoid she sniff around my palm and ignore the object i throw.. i put the meat very high and i wave the object in front of her and try to let her bite on it..once she 'touch' the object when i command 'fetch', i reward her..

then she seems understand.. so i try harder by dropping the object and she go and bite the object drop in front and i gave her lots lots of praise again..

so the problem come.... now she though 'bite' is what i mean... i try to throw the object further and shout 'JOJO , FETCH!!' then she look at the treat i'm holding and she run after and 'bite' on the object and drop it , return to me waiting for the treatUnsure...i just repeat 'fetch' and pointing the object without reward her for not doing it correctly.. she look at me and she run back to the object and bite on it harderCrazy and return to me wait for the meat..

oh Lord, she just doesn't understand have to hold it and return it for me..anybody got any ideas?? Unsure oohhhhhhhh pls pls help!!!!!!!

helo~!

yes, i do agree with eliza. I used to own mongrels and pedigree too. One of my dog, lulu, knows how to sit, down and stand and also "pray" which is some sort like she'll sit up and put her paws together then moving it up and downLaugh we din teach her all these and she just pick it up on her ownSmile so to say, sometimes mongrel they are smarter because they have to take care of themselves in the outside world and most pedigree are pampered by their owner and tends to be stubbornTongue

what is actually the point of having the squeeky toy for our dogs? I thought it would catch her attention and at least LISTEN to what i have to say, bu it turns out she looks at the the toy like enemy, once it's drop on the floor, she will bite and toss it around like nobody's business!!

Re: [wkser] How to train my puppy 'Fetch and Give'? [In reply to] Can't Post
aiyaa.. I need help again...

after many days, JOJO pick up the command 'fetch'Smile BUT...aiya-ya..u know what? she will pick it up and come to me AND just drop it in front of me without pass it over to me..

It looks like kinda rude to me.. then she will 'down' to wait for the treat.. probably everytimes i give her treat i will asked her down, i.e. before going out relieve herself, she need to be 'down' or before dinner...etc.

then i think she though 'down' is "May I...?" to her.. so she drop the object in front of me and 'down' , in this case, shall I reward her??

I don't know how to let her understand she need to hold the object up to the time I command her 'drop/give' then only can drop it..Frown My silly husband even used himself to demonstrate to JOJO.... but she is just a dog..how can she understand??Crazy

Anyone can guide me train her the complete 'fetch' command???

hi jaz,
the squeeky toys is actually is the first part of the fecth and catch training.......every time you squeeze it your dog will remember is play time.....then only slowly you introduce the word fetch right after you squeeze the ball.....then only you call out the word fetch when he is use to fetch and return to you...just this you need sometime ...patient is the word.....Wink...happy trying

Thanks for the advise. Will try, usually we'll have this fetch and give game after her shower... it's a good method to let her coat dry.. as she'll run about fetching... but sometimes, she thinks that this is a chasing game instead! ha! ha!

may b u can try this w ur jojo.

this is the way how i teach my cocker to fetch n give.

first, tie his favourite toy w string.

then tie him up also.

after that, throw the toy away.

of course, ur jojo will follow the toy.

after he pick the toy, pull him back.

by the same time, command him to come back.

repeat as many as u can.

untie the toy n ur jojo 2 days after u teach him.

teach him everyday to make sure that he wont forget.

wish u good luck!
