[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 597538, member: 84"] I've never owned a dog that didn't fetch. I can't think of a single one who didn't play with us that way. Rufus is already catching on........would do better if Maggie stopped distracting him. lol I had a dachshund that fetched........he also jumped through hoops and various size fences. He was the first dog I really trained. I was 13-14 at the time. I think learning to fetch depends on how you play with them. If you toss it for them when they bring it back, most catch on quickly to bring it back as long as they want to continue the game. This is how all of mine "learned" to fetch. I had them fetching everything from toys to balls to their bones. Maggie learned it so well that I am the [B]only[/B] person she will bring a returning object to, doesn't matter who is playing with her or how much she loves them. She'll fetch it regardless of who tosses but only brings it to me. No clue why. I didn't teach her that part. lol [/QUOTE]
