Retrieve Training Mesh Bag
 |
| Click to enlarge image(s) |
You start this retrieve training before you feed your dog. A hungry dog works better than a full dog. I put something that is very scented and that the dog is crazy for in the bag and hook a leash to the loop end of the mesh bag. Then I pull the bungee cord top of the bag closed and throw it across the floor while holding onto the end of the leash. Be sure your dog is watching you. Throwing the bag will generally excite the dog. When your dog runs to get the treat bag, pull him/her back to you with the mesh bag in its mouth.
As your dog is coming back to you, call and use the word that you designate for bringing the object. This is imprinting, in your dog's mind, that bringing you the bag results in a reward. As soon as your dog gets to you, then open the bag and give your dog a treat from the bag. The reward must come as soon as your dog gets to you.
After your dog gets used to bringing you the mesh treat bag, then you follow the same procedure without the leash. If your dog does not want to bring the mesh treat bag, then go back to attaching the bag to the leash. When this step is done successfully, you begin object retrieval by attaching a lightweight object to the bag (for example: a hand towel, toy, keys, etc.). By this time, the dog is understanding that bringing you different objects means he/she will get a treat. Now try the same technique without the bag, just the object. Always mark the successful retrieval behavior with a reward (a treat at first, and then move into a pet or praise).
Our Mesh Retrieve Training Bag is quite strong and durable. It is a double layer of mesh with an adjustable, locking top opening. It is approximately 5"x6" in size and orange in color. The bag is small and lightweight so you can keep it in your pocket when it is not being used.
"I know that dogs are pack animals, but it is difficult to imagine a pack of standard poodles...and if there was such a thing as a pack of standard poodles, where would they rove to? Bloomingdale's?"
--Yvonne Clifford, American actress
