For the past week ive been trying to train him to fetch, mostly the dropping it part and he only listens when i have treats.. and even when i do have treats and i say "sit" in a assertive tone he drops his fetching toy but then when i reach for it he will maul my hand or chest and then i get mad because he does this constantly and then i hit him out of anger which isnt good at all. For the frist 3 days he was listening and the mauling thing didnt really happen but then yesterday and today hes been barely listening and hes mauling and i feel so hopeless.I feel like i cant train him to do anything because he has SOO much energy in him! What do i do???
How to use the Remote Dog Training Collar
Recommended Answer:
losing your temper and hitting the dog for retrieving the object, when it returns with it will be totally counter-productive and eventually the dog will not fetch at all.

You need to enrol in Obedience classes with a recognised Obedience club or instructor (Not Petsmart).
Try and train the dog NOT to drop the article, but to sit and present it to you to take from the dog, calmly. Swap the article for a treat to start with, and use a trigger word like "give" - praise !

- If hes possessive do a swapsy. Swap the toy you want for a treat or a plastic lid with peanut butter. Please, dont hit him, itll make things worse.
