Fetch It!: Teach your Brilliant Family Dog to catch, fetch, retrieve, find, and bring things back!

Fetch It! will turn your reluctant retriever into a fetching fanatic. And if you want to go further and teach a competition retrieve, teach your own assistance dog, and even turn your dog into a search dog, you'll find it all in this book!

Continuing the Brilliant Family Dog model of keeping things simple - with no dog-trainery jargon, and completely force-free - yet conveying what you need to know quickly and clearly, you'll enjoy watching your dog work out the games you're playing with him. The Troubleshooting sections quickly find answers for your particular dog. And the quiet humour throughout is a delight!

You'll learn how to choose your retrieve articles - for play or for work - what to avoid and why. You'll learn a formal retrieve for fetching delicate things like your phone, and play retrieves for chasing down a ball or frisbee.

One of the highlights of the book is the Fun chapter, which shows lots of applications for your sparkling new retrieve skill! There's Fetch my shoes and Where's my jumper, as well as stacking the dinner bowls, fetching the post, bringing you the tv remote, and the super 10-step sequence Where are my keys? to track down those elusive car-keys!
