Just start doing it part time. I know you'd be great. You sounded so enthusiastic in your video. That is what I need to work on. No wonder Ace gets bored with me.

Lucy has an awesome dumbbell and I clicker trained her. Check out this page, it is what I did.. for the most part, though I modified it for my dogs. http://www.shirleychong.com/keepers/retrieve.html I used this for Levi and Chase, too. Though Levi is not as solid as Lucy because I haven't worked him as much. But he is getting better as the video shows! Basically I clicked and treated at first for them just looking at the dumbbell. Then nose touching it. Then I put peanut butter on it so they would open their mouth for it. And on from there. :) I refused to ear pinch my dogs, or use any of the old style retrieve techniques. I love clicker training the dumbbell! Let me know if this helps! Oh Racheal… the dumbbell is so fun to clicker train! Lucy has an awesome dumbbell and I clicker trained her.

Can I ask, how you trained him to pick up the dumbell? Moxie and I are starting our Open training and we have no clue. I can't seem to find classes around here that train anything higher than CD level stuff.
