Retrieve Dog Training Workshop

Training a dog to retrieve is a skill that many don’t realize until they try and get their new dog to play ball. Its just assumed every dog will go get the ball every time its thrown and bring it back. Not so. However, you can teach you dog how to do it. Just like some kids don’t know how to play…. it can be shown and the a lot of fun is had by all!

Canine Basics owned by Brian & Lisa Berg hosted a retrieve workshop in New Jersey last weekend. The turn out was awesome and Robin MacFarlane of That’s My Dog demonstrated her teaching skills to both people and dogs in a way that had all who attended learning to communicate with their dog in a clear manner. Most gratifying on both ends!

All the dogs that participated progressed to the stage of their dog carrying items for them and several where already at the level of picking things up off the floor. Quite an accomplishment, considering older techniques of retrieve training typically take many weeks. In just 2 and 1/2 days we did our work, and of our crowd, the majority of the participants were pet owners, not professional trainers. That is a real testament to the easy of the system we have developed at That’s My Dog!

If you are interested in learning more about professional dog training and how you can achieve the skills, contact us. Our first E-cademy session is going to be held in sunny San Diego in March. That’s My Dog has locations in Hazel Green, WI and Chicago, IL

Woof!
