Trick Train Off #4: Identify & Retrieve Objects

[ihartgonzo]

It's that time again!

The trick is: Your dog must identify objects and bring them to you. It's completely up to you the criteria of identifying the objects; whether by name, color, shape, whatever!

The trick off officially stars November 1st, and ends November 22nd. That gives us 3 whole weeks to get this rock-solid! I can't wait to see everyone's videos.

Can you be a bit more specific about how many objects, and how or how many the dog must identify?

 

[Maxy24]

I believe you need to have a group of items, one of which is the one you ask to retrieve. So say you put down a cow, banana, squirrel and ball toy on the floor and instruct the dog to retrieve the item of your choice, only one or all one at a time, I suppose that's up to you. Correct me if I'm wrong.

what about finding an article that smells like you from a pile of similar articles?

Thanks for the sticky! :3

Red, the criteria is all up to you. The general idea is that the dog has to be able to identify certain objects, out of a pile or whatnot of other objects, on command. It's completely open to interpretation, as far as how advanced you want to/can get. You could also do a scent retrieve like Doberkim suggested. So there is bound to be a lot of variety in the videos!

Sorry, I should have specified.

Can I put a chair, a brick and a tennis ball in a pile and ask the dog to retrieve the tennis ball?

LMAO! Why, of course you can. There's no rule against it, as far as I'm concerned.

Did this finish? If so.. did a new one start? I really enjoy these but I keep mising them

 

[laserbrn]

Seems like this doesn't need to be stickied....I see quite the lack of follow through on this one.

As a new user I was enticed to see the wonders of something like this only to be let down when I get to the end of the thread and....nothin'

I vote for removal of stickyness.

Where are the objects picking videos? Do it hurry I can't wait.

Maybe that one was too hard. Maybe someone needs to start a new one..a little easier.
