I notice the delivery to hand is a bit of a problem at our tests. Can you expound on this and ideas to correct so I can use it to help them along please Cj. Ta Margaret ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fetch means _only _that the dog is to take something into its mouth and hold it until given the single correct command to release. To proof this the dog must be polished by holding something it doesn't want to grip in its jaws. This is accomplished by training until the dog will hold your hand in its jaws and refuse to release it until given the correct release command. (Tip: start with a gloved hand because dogs don't like to hold human skin in their mouth, that's an innate reluctance that must be overcome to finish the training). Cj
