Training a Labrador retriever to fetch
“I have just recently gotten a labrador retriever…. the vet told me he is around 1 yrs old…. he has never been trained before… does anyone have any good tips on how to train him to fetch something and bring it back to me? i would really appreciate it … thanks a lot!”
Labs have a natural instinct to retrieve, hence the name of the breed. =) This would be easy and something the dog would grasp on to easily and quickly. Get a tug of war rope from the pet store, preferrably one with a tennis ball or 2 on the mid section. Get him playing that with you and once he is really going, throw the rope and when he goes to get it, chances are he will bring it back. If not, begin calling his name to bring it back. When he does, tell him to drop it once your hand is on it. For each step that he does, give hima treat and tell him good boy, good retrieve. Labs are very smart dogs, he should catch on quickly. With that said, not all labs are keen on giving it back so you may have to work with him on the drop it method. Just stay firm and he’ll get it.
