Things You'll Need:
- Two tennis balls
-
Step 1
Throw the first ball and let your dog go after it. When your dog starts to come towards you, ask your dog to "drop it."
-
Step 2
If your dog does not drop the ball, stop paying any attention to your dog and take out the second ball.
-
Step 3
Start to have fun with the second ball. Toss it up in the air. Act like you're having a great time with the second ball. Keep doing this until your dog looks at you. If you've done this step correctly, your dog will drop the ball that he/she has and look up at the one you have.
-
Step 4
As soon as your dog drops his/her ball, show the ball you're holding to your dog. As soon as your dog focuses on the ball that you're holding, throw it.
-
Step 5
Repeat the process when your dog comes back to you. Within a short period of time, you'll have your dog retrieving for you.

on 5/19/2008 My dog, a 6 or 7 year old Siberian Husky, used to fetch a ball, but after not having played ball with her for a while, seems to have to interest. Is there any way to get that interest back again?
