Start at the end! Teach him to take it from your hands and have it in his mouth for a second, then click longer and longer 'holds'. Then you can teach him to hold it until you ask for it and to only give it back to your hands. When he's got that reliably, put it on the floor close to you and reward for sniffing, nosing, mouthing etc if you need to, and shape him to pick it up by the middle only and hand it to you - sorry, mouth it to you. Once you've got that you can start throwing it a bit away from you so he has to go out and get it and bring it back. Then increase the distance. If he already retrieves toys then it shouldn't take long. |
