Start by choosing a toy your dog loves. Encourage them to grab it and then say 'fetch' as they do. Reward them with treats or praise when they bring it back.
If your dog loses interest, try a different toy or take a break. Be patient and consistent with your training. Celebrate small successes along the way.
Use positive reinforcement to make the game fun. Keep training sessions short and upbeat. Practice in a quiet area to minimize distractions.
Gradually increase the distance your dog has to fetch the toy. Use a long hallway or open space for practice. Keep the game exciting and engaging for your pet.
Remember that not all dogs will immediately grasp the concept of fetch. Stay positive and keep training sessions enjoyable for your furry friend.
With time and practice, your dog will learn to love playing fetch. Enjoy the bonding experience and the joy of watching your pet master this classic game.
