well my dog is 2 years old already and knows a few of some trick. My mum and dad want him to learn how to fetch newspaper, slippers and other objects. in order to fetch stuffs, u need to go slow, train 1 object at one time. associate the object to a word (slippers = slip?). everytime u command to fetch use same word. command him to "give" (release the slippers) treat only after he releases the slippers in front of u. soon he'l learn to get the slippers only with verbal command. gradually, decrease the treats. after completin an object, then only u move on to other objects, but still one at a time ya But then if he learns to do a trick he will only want the snacks. do not treat till he does wat u wan him to do. if both of u gets distracted , confused, frustrated, moody, take a rest & start over again I'm not sure whether he can learn at his age sure he can! but he seems distracted when there's a snack. treats' goers are much more easier to train. find out wat is his most prized treat. or get him a new treat he has never tasted before. only use this particular treat during fetch trainin So, can i really train my 2 year old dog to fetch given urself & ur doggies the patience, confidence & consistency, yes u both can or is he too old not to learn fetch? he's only 2, he's not old! good luck & keep us update ya ezekiel 25:17
