Preschool Puppy Training (Part 2): Fetching

The first positive command that your puppy should learn is the command to sit. By making it the first command, it therefore becomes the first positive word which we will write on the puppy's “chalkboard mind”. In other words, at this age his mind is like a chalkboard – and not too much has been written on it yet.

The things that get written on it at this age should be constructive. Later, we will write the negative word “no” on the puppy's mind. The word “no” is the only negative command you should ever utter. Words which you will use when it becomes necessary to scold your puppy are not considered “commands” but are merely words, the tone of which leave no doubt in the puppy's mind that you are doing some disciplining. The negative command “no” will come to mean something to the puppy, no matter what tone of voice you use.

Loose The Distractions

It is recommended that the area you use for your puppy's preschool training in fetch and sit be as distraction-free as possible. Although we will approach this preschool training seriously, your puppy should view it as game time. The “game” should not exceed ten minutes in length. If it does, the puppy will become bored with it all.

If you persist after he becomes bored, then future games with you will be considered a “real drag” and, of course, non-productive. By having as few distractions as possible, we can help keep the puppy's mind upon the game.

Let's Begin

To begin, select a toy that your puppy has shown a particular liking for, then seat yourself upon the floor. This puts you down closer to the puppy's level and, among other things, will help to convey the “game” atmosphere.

Make sure that the puppy's leash is attached and that you are holding the other end. Toss the toy up and down for a few seconds, just enough to attract the pup's attention. Then, toss it out a few feet away from you encouraging the puppy to retrieve it. You can encourage him with things like “Come on boy... pick it up! You can do it! C'moooon boy! Good doggie!”.

There's enough verbiage there to make sure not a single word sticks on that chalkboard; but your tone of voice, together with your enthusiasm are the prime considerations here. If the puppy goes to the object and shows any interest in it at all, that's grounds for praise and further encouragement. If he picks up the toy and brings it back to you, really pour on the praise and toss it out again.

Try to get four such retrievals into your first ten-minute play session. Then, remove the leash and end the game with a tidbit – a cookie or other food reinforcement. Why the tidbit? Why not just praise? Remember, your puppy is now nine weeks old, and praise just hasn't had time to become that big of a thing. Sure, it's nice at this point in life, but the food reward is nicer.

BONUS : Preschool Puppy Training (Part 3): Sit & Come

While learning the fetch game, it is important that tasty treats be used in place of too much praise, as previously mentioned. The importance of praise hasn't been firmly written on the chalkboard of his mind – so until it is, give your pup what is known to be a positive reward stimulus - food!

(Some trainers might ask, “But shouldn't training take place in the head, and not the stomach?” Yes that is true, but this is game time, remember?)

Try to get at least three fetching games (ten minutes each) into each day for three days in a row. These fetching drills should be in addition to a five or ten minute walk on the leash – daily. We're going to sneak in two commands while the puppy is having these “game times” and before he even realizes what's happened, he will have been trained to respond to “come” and “sit”.

During your retrieving games, when your puppy has returned the play toy to you, place your left hand on his rear end and your right underneath his chin. Press lightly with your left hand while exerting a small amount of upward pressure with your right as you command “sit”.

As soon as you have placed the puppy in that sitting position, pour on the enthusiastic praise, then toss the play toy out again. When the puppy returns with the toy, withhold any praise until you have commanded “sit” and have placed him in the sitting position. If the puppy should squirm from your grasp, and you fail to get him properly seated, do not throw the play toy, do not praise, and above all, do not give up!

Always Remain Positive

Thoughts like “he just won't do it,” or “he won't let me,” have absolutely no place in dog training. Use the leash to bring the puppy back to you, say “sit” and place the puppy in the sitting position. Conclude each fetch-sit game with a tidbit reward.

By the time you finish your third session of fetch-sit games, you'll notice that it really doesn't take much left-hand pressure at all to get your puppy seated. You have a 10 minute walk on leash still scheduled for each of the days four through seven. All things will be as they've been on preceding days, except – take four small tidbits with you. Make sure they are tucked away in your pocket – out of sight and scent – as you take the puppy outdoors.

After you begin what with the puppy believes to be a routine daily outing (we know it to be an important part of his socialization training), take a tidbit out of your pocket, kneel down to his level and say his name, followed by the command “come.”

Using the leash, carefully pull the puppy towards you. Give him the tidbit, and at the same time pour on the praise. By giving the tidbit with the praise, your puppy will begin to learn that praise is synonymous with the reward.
