Okay, I admit, she is only half retriever. The other half of her is a poodle. Needless to say, my golden retrieve will not fetch and bring things bad. If we throw something for her, she will happily run up to it, put it in her mouth and then drop it again. I've tried numerous things to see if they work, but nothing seems to work to try to get her to bring it back to me. I've tried the clicker to help train her and reward her with treats when she brings it back. I've tried frisbees, tennis balls, larger balls, sticks, and many other things however, she just is not interested in playing that game with me. She'd rather run off and do her own thing, or sit right on top of my feet. I really wish she would fetch after things though to burn some of her energy off. Does anyone else have a pup who refuses to retrieve? Anything that has helped them?
