luckydog Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 So I bought myself a proper white plastic dog bone to practice retrieving. Only problem is that Suzie is not the least bit interested in it. She wont hold it and wont pick it up. She loves my sons socks though! Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) So I bought myself a proper white plastic dog bone to practice retrieving.Only problem is that Suzie is not the least bit interested in it. She wont hold it and wont pick it up. She loves my sons socks though! Suggestions? Aaaargh, the joys of teaching the dumbell (if thats what you're talking about ??). There was a thread a while back on different methods of teaching the dumbell, going through all stages or getting the dog to touch it, then take it in its mouth, to holding it, then picking it up off the ground, etc. I can be a long process but it rewarding when you get through it and your dog actually ends up really enjoying it. I'll try and find the thread for you :D If it is not what your talking about just ignore me :D Edited April 7, 2008 by BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
