Fetch It!
Teach your Brilliant Family Dog to catch, fetch, retrieve, find, and bring things back! (More Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog)
Having a dog who will retrieve his ball or frisbee and bring it back to be thrown again, is for many people the essence of a dog walk!
But your dog may have other ideas … perhaps he takes the toy and runs off with it, or lies down and chews it, or even shows no interest whatever - leaving you to go and hunt for the toy yourself.
This can all be changed! You just need a few key steps to make it all happen. Beverley Courtney has helped many, many dog-owners to turn their frustration with their dog into enjoyment and pure pleasure!
Continuing in the same style as the immensely popular Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog series of books, you’ll soon have a dog who not only plays fetch, but also brings you your tv remote, his dog bowl or lead, and your slippers … not to mention searching for your lost car-keys!
Through her force-free work with thousands of dogs, Beverley Courtney can show you a new way in these readable, jargon-free books!
“My dog is lovely but quite excitable, which made some things really tricky. The advice in Beverley's books is clear and simple to follow, and best of all it teaches your dog to think for itself and make good choices without any commands. Seriously, if you want a nicer, better-behaved and calmer dog, read these books and follow her steps.” 5* review

“Played throw ball at the park and she gave it back to me every time! I just want to thank you so much for the things that I have learnt.” AW
“I just have to let you know how thrilled I am. Dodger and I have been playing in the garden and I’ve been throwing his ball. He’s been running after it and then bringing it back! I’m really chuffed!” AG
“I believe this series is the most intuitive and dog-friendly resource I have found to date, and I have read everything bookshops have to offer. In the past, I had intuitively not scolded my Mobility support service dog in training for taking things like slippers and shoes outside. While my friends with dogs disagreed with my approach, this book validated my instincts by explaining that if I want to teach her to fetch and bring things I would be starting from a disadvantage if she had previously been scolded for taking them in the first place. I love to be right, so have read everything this brilliant woman has written and enrolled in her classes.” LF
“With your advice we have success. Charlie is eager to return to hand any thrown items on demand. Thanks again.” KC
“I made a little video of Lexi fetching. As you may remember, she had zero interest or idea what to do when a toy was thrown, and she was afraid of objects being thrown (she is still afraid of balls) but using what you lay out in your book and also the tips you gave me, here she is! Fetching! And she has even started “asking” to play fetch. Anyway - thank you so much for helping me figure out how to teach Lexi and giving us a new way to interact.” EMC
“I just love Beverley's books and her training methods are superb. She has really helped me and my dog!” CF
