They will chase the toy, sometimes pick it up and sometimes bring it back. when they bring it back they always toss it to me or drop it but there is no criteria on my part and I'm not sure how to set the criteria when I can't get them to bring it back consistantly? I'm sure it is something simple but I just can't seem to get it to work. My other dogs just did it from day one and I added criteria to the game. Thanks!!!

I am an Apple girl so all of my editing is done on my MAC and no I am not an expert. . . iMovie makes everything so darn easy it makes anyone look like a pro.

No real retrieve questions (others have asked them already) but I am wondering what video editing program you are using to do graphics, text overlays, slo-mo, etc. I am SOOO enjoying your blog, thank you so much for sharing.

I'm working this with my pup right now and he'll bring back, but not the way I'd like and really drives back only when I have another toy in my hand for him. Getting him to give it to my hand is another challenge. Thanks for any tips! Trish Thanks for the video Susan

(on the published video) Would you want to try to mix that up in a retrieve game... Is there any value to sending from the other side of your body?

Your getting really good at it. I loved the use of games with in the games, because it really had nothing to do with agility.
