[Dailydrool] Ball Retireving

[rescue at wabr.net]

Basset personality description/charms do not include retrieving.  BUT, they can easily learn to retrieve.  Start with the end result.  Put and toy/ball in their mouth, tell them to drop it, and minute they drop it, they get a treat.  Once they really understand the "Drop it" command, start with short foot or two tosses, when they pick up the toy do your "Come" (with treat) and Drop It (with treat) and you have created a retriever.  It's a great way to exercise your basset from your lawn chair.  Pat
