Thread: Dropping on the retrieve

I've had this with my last dog , and I put it down to rushing the process along . Went back a few steps ; dog sit , dummy presented to dog , fetch - dummy put in dogs mouth and without force balanced in there , then give , let dummy roll into your hand and then praise . It took longer to teach than I had first thought as she did not like it . But just slowly increased the time she had to hold dummy and if she dropped it , straight back in . Anyway worked for my dog and me . I'm no expert and I'm sure there are other ways or better ? Ways so I encourage you to seek more advice .
