Fetch 15/52

Our Daily Challenge - Apr 14, 2019: "Open Sesame..."

My Golden Retrievers have all been natural retrievers - no training required to get them to bring thrown balls back.

Getting them to release the ball thereafter?

Well, that's a different story.

Since I play retrieve for my fun and their exercise, I choose the Lazy Woman's Way... I use two balls.

The instant they release the one in their mouth I throw the one in my hand.

Yes, the first few days I spend more time standing there with a slimy ball in hand than I do throwing it, but these are smart dogs and they soon catch on.

I'm sure purists would not be impressed, but it works.

Eventually, they've all come to realize the game works MUCH better when they drop the ball as soon as they return, as shown here, with Toby dropping the one in his mouth as he comes roaring up to me.

If you look close you can even see the spit!

Once they get the idea, I add a hand signal, and soon I've "trained" a Drop command!
