Fetch! - an online course to help you to teach your dog to retrieve a ball

Any dog can fetch a ball! Teach your dog a great retrieve.

Thanks for your interest in “Fetch!”, our online course which will help you teach your dog to retrieve a ball or toy.  Many people think that their dog just doesn’t like balls but it’s perfectly possible to teach them to do it. If you can teach dogs to dance on their hind legs, you can teach them to fetch a ball for you!

Why would this be good for me?

• A good retrieve and ball focus is extremely useful for keeping your dog    engaged with you and promotes good recall
• Rather than just use treats as rewards, many dogs will find playing with    a ball or toy extremely rewarding
• It is a great way to exercise your dog and build up their fitness and        stamina

Using video demonstrations, our short course will show you the techniques you need for teaching your dog a good, reliable retrieve.

My name is Sarah and I’m the owner of Dogskool. I am a qualified Dog Trainer and Canine Behaviourist, with many years experience of working with dogs of all shapes and sizes!I am, what they call nowadays, a “positive” dog trainer. That is, I like to find ways to reward a dog for something I want him to do, rather than punish him for something he probably hasn’t been taught how to do properly in the first place!

I have a University degree, an Advanced Diploma in Canine Psychology and I am a Gold standard Approved Instructor with the Academy of Dog Training and Behaviour. I am also a member National Register of Dog Trainers and Behaviourists and the Pet Professional Guild. I am a Kennel Club examiner for the Good Citizen Dog Scheme.

I also hold the Expert Witness Certificate from Cardiff University which enables to work as a dog behaviourist for the Courts, assessing dogs and giving evidence in criminal and civil dog related cases. In creating this online course, I am assisted by Dogskool Instructors, Michelle Caisley, Michelle Turnock, Courteney Garsden and Danni Chadwick.
