Clicker Retrieve 5

ok you are a genius! I've been doing something similar with my toller pup and I think he's starting to understand the concept of a hold! We've made a major breakthrough this past week, thank you!!!

Good, glad to hear it. This is more of this on the Clicker Retrieve 5b video, with my other dog who understands the concept.

This is a really interesting idea! I might try it with my toller puppy who is having a hard time learning the hold. i'm shaping it fraction of a second at a time, but he likes to "levitate" when coming to me and sitting (his front feet come off the floor so he does a tiny beg). He already has a great retrieve to touch my hand, but now we're stuck! This might reframe the idea for him!

In this video, the dog must continue holding the retrieve item when shown a treat.  The dog must only drop when I click.
