Fetch it: Training a Retrieve to Hand
Get your dog started on a "working" retrieve! Unlike most trainers, I don't start with the boring (and incredibly difficult!) hold. I first build value for picking up the item and teaching a solid delivery to hand.

About the event
This workshop will get your dog started on a working retrieve! We will discuss how to get your dog excited about picking up items from the ground and shoving them in your hand!
This method will not be using the standard back chaining approach of teaching a stationary hold first. Instead, we will look at teaching the “moving hold” where your dog learns to politely pick up an item from the ground and bring it directly to your hand. While this method is then suitable to add in a sit and hold in as a next step, the hold will not be discussed in this workshop.
