The 5 steps to teach your dog fetch!

How I Taught Emma Fetch

Step 1: (chase) in an area with limited distractions, get your dog excited about an object, and toss a short distance

Step 2: (return) after tossing the object, be positive and excited, encouraging your dog to return, moving away often helps, mark and reward with praise

Step 3: (drop it) introduce the bait and switch method, pull out a second toy, and mark “drop it” when letting go naturally

Step 4: remove the second object

Step 5: increase distraction and distance individually

Benefits of Fetch:
_ Healthy activity for exercise
– Builds trust and bond
– Work for non-food reward
