My dog has absolutely no interest in sticks, toys of any variety, rawhides, balls, etc. Even as a puppy....no interest. She is a Border Collie. I thought she is just weird, although I met a cattle farmer with a Border Collie who has no interest whatsoever in livestock. Anyway, finally something that might work...she loves food.
I'm trying to teach my dog Lucy to fetch. She runs up to the ball, sniffs it and leaves it there. Sometimes, she picks it up and runs around for a while, then drops it. She appears not to be toy-motivated and will not bring the ball back, even when there is a treat inside. Lucy is a Whippet and is generally very active. If I offer a treat, she drops the ball and then runs back. Is there a way to get my dog to bring the ball back?
my dog will NEVER fetch! lik, shes lik, 6 or so now, and when she wuz younger, she ALWAYS liked playing with toys. now, when i show her a toy or tennis ball or frisbee, she just looks at it and goes away. i hope this works. shes a beagle 2
#1: this will not work with strong chewers;
#2: tennis balls are dangerous for dogs due to the powder that is used inside the tennis balls.
Just saying....
