The easiest way to teach your puppy to fetch and return is to start with a toy that he’s already familiar with and enjoys playing with. Throw the toy a short distance away from you and encourage him to go get it. When he brings the toy back to you, praise him and give him a treat. As he gets better at this, you can start throwing the toy further and further away. Finally, you can even try hiding the toy in different places around the house or yard so that he has to search for it. This is a great way to keep your puppy’s mind active and engaged.
