Okay let me first state that I have never never taught a dog to retreive nor fetch for that matter

Now I have! (Even though I'm not completely sure if it is all my doing) It was such a great sucess for me. Literally I was hugging myself. Actually I'll just tell you what happened.
Jinx and I were taking our daily run/jog and we got stopped by our neighbors that live about 7 houses down. Before this I had been clicking Jinx for any interaction with a ball and with no such luck might I add. Though she thinks, she just didn't seem to get it. Anyways, back to the story. While talking to our neighbors their daughter came out. She asked if she could play fetch with Jinx. In which I replied she could but she might not get anywhere.
Let's just say I was eating my words after the first throw. She raced after a white tennis before pouncing on it then bringing them back even offering everybody that was around a chance to throw it.
