How can I teach my dog to fetch anything and how to speak

Answer 1

Answer 2

Teaching a dog to speak is not that difficult. It just takes patience. Hold your dogs favorite toy or treat out of reach and tell him to "speak" using an excited tone of voice. He will not get it at first and he will look at you funny. Keep his attention by showing him his treat and teasing him with it. As soon a he gives you even a whimper, give him his reward. As time goes on, you need to make him bark longer before he gets his treat. He will come to the point that he will bark on command. That is when the treats go away and he only gets an occasional reward. As far as fetching goes, well, the dog has to have the desire to retrieve. It is not something that you can put in your dog if he does not have it. He will show no interest in whatever you are throwing. There is s forced retrieve method but I will not discuss it here in an open forum as it is not for amateurs to try. Good luck.

Well, you say to 'fetch anything'. That's a pretty big chore. Do you really want it to fetch anything at all? I can tell you that i know someone who taught their dog to pick up stuff (anything on the ground) and bring it to her. She did this by trading anything in the dog's mouth for food. Soon the dog learned that it could earn a bounty on anything so it went looking for things to pick up. this meant she had to keep food on her all the time. It's pretty cool trick though. Speaking i find is easiest to teach by just encouraging the dog to bark and then labeling the behavior. the dog barks and you say 'speak' and then reward the dog. The dog then learns to associate the word 'speak' with barking and a resulting treat.
Good luck.

It all happens with repetition.
Fetch: Start by throwing the object and calling the dog back. When the dog returns the object choose a word like "drop" and point down. He should drop the object. If he doesn't take the object from his mouth and drop it in front of him. If he goes for it say "no". Keep a pocket full of small treats. The pups food will work if it's hard food. Each time he does something succesful, you say "good job", pet the pup and give him a treat. This is not going to happen over night. You need patience and time. Again, if he returns, he gets rewarded. If he drops the toy, he gets rewarded. If you drop the toy and he doesn't go for it, he get's rewarded.
Speak is the same theory. Accomplish and reward. Each time the pup barks you say "speak". If he does it again... reward! If this repetition is kept up, he eventually will associate the word "speak" to him needing to bark.
Eventually you wll be able to ween them off the treats.

Answer 5

The easiest way to teach "speak" is to wait until your dog is barking at something, then as he is barking, tell him "speak!" Praise and reward. By the same means, you can tell him "quiet" and when he stops barking give him a treat. With consistency in training, you can teach both Speak and Quiet.

Fetch is a little more difficult, but you can start by tossing out a favorite toy and telling your pup to "fetch." As soon as he picks up the toy, reward him for just picking it up. Don't expect him to bring it to you right away. Eventually when he is picking up the toy consistently, you encourage him to bring you the toy and you exchange the toy for something better (a piece of hot dog, or a treat that he doesn't normally get). As he drops the toy to receive the good treat, you praise and reward. Slowly move on to other objects until he realizes that when you say "fetch keys" he knows what that means.

Practice! Practice! Practice! With kindness and patience and consistency you can teach your dog to do all kinds of neat things! Good luck!

Answer 6

Dangle the item in front of him to get his attention and say fetch, you may have to run for it to give him the idea. Praise if he tries and give him a small treat when he succeeds. To speak make sure he's looking at you and say speak and make the noise. If he tries at all praise him lots and give him a small treat, the better he gets the bigger the treat. Use the same key word all the time and don't change it or add more words (he'll just get confused).
Do these for five min at least three times a day, don't give him a treat if he doesn't try, just quit and try again later.

Answer 7

Reward it with treats and petting it and whatnot after it does something you want it to. Repeat until you dont need treats for incentives

Answer 8

well use training...you could take him/her to petsmart and they have peo[ple who train dogs...or you could just teach him/her it and when she does it reward the dog and that is a proven way to teach them tricks.

Good Luck
