Dog Fetch

How to teach my dog to fetch?

My dog is a German Shepherd/jack russell mutt and is around 4 years old. He likes to chase things but only because he thinks he’s playing keep away. I’ve tried a lot of methods like the two toy one but he still won’t fetch. Please help.

It is difficult to teach a terrier or a terrier mix to fetch. That’s not what they do inately, unlike one of the retriever or sporting dogs.

One thing you can try:

Put the dog on a long line (longer than a leash), say about 10 feet. Throw the toy and let him run out to get it. Then call the dog by name and gently reel him back in. Give him a small treat so that he will drop the item he’s retrieved. Eventually, the dog will learn that there’s a treat in it for him.

Avoid going to pick up the item once he’s carried it off and dropped it somewhere. Name the item each time you throw it for him “ball,” “kong,” “stick,” etc., show it to him and throw it. Then say “Fetch the ball” or “Get the ball.”

Eventually he’ll know what you’re talking about regarding specific items. You should be able to say “Where’s your ball?” or “Where’s your stick?” and expect him to go and get it and bring it to you to throw.

JRT and mixes of JRT are highly intelligent. You may not be able to teach him to fetch with any ease, but there are lots of things you can teach him. So don’t lose heart!
