Make any dog a retriever

How can you keep your dog entertained and in superb physical condition without going on a two-hour walk every day? Teach them to fetch.

Using fun and simple games, Pippa Mattinson, dog expert and author of The Happy Puppy Handbook, shows how any dog can learn to fetch like a pro, with no discipline or cross words needed.

These easy exercises will make your dog utterly focused on you, help you to exercise your dog under control in public places and give you a new set of skills you can use to teach your dog pretty much anything!
