Charlie Brown *vid*

I thought i had tought Charlie to play fetch. As in i throw ball, he brings it back to ME. It turns out he just takes it back to where i threw it from

I can't stay mad at him for long. His face was so sweet when he was waiting for his treat for getting the ball. He's so cute (even if i do say so myself

)

Haha, you've taught him well - that's why you should always switch positions

he is taking it back there because that is where it always came from and where he was always getting treated from!

Smart little fella, keep up the good work x

Thanks
He is to cleaver for his own good bless him. The other day i tried throwing the ball then not giving him a treat but throwing it again. He stood there looking at me till i gave him a treat then he toddled off got the ball and asked for another treat. Gotta love him though

Maybe only give him the treat every other time - try getting him interested in the ball as well as the treat, you can swap one ball for another instead of a food reward every time

oh but his cute little face asking for a treat.

I think i'm turning into one of those people with a spoilt little lap dog.

must get a grip.
Seriously though thanks for the advice i'll give it a go. (he's my first dog so new to this training malarky)
