Poncho Presents: Ways of Fetching a Thrown Ball Other Than Actually Going to Get it. Use a trained eagle. Hire a student. Convince master to play at the exit of a moving walkway (tricky!) Surreptitiously attach a string to ball (Reel in string.) Arrange it so another dog and his master are playing fetch on the opposite side of the same hill. Hypnotize master into believing you fetched the ball. (For extra fun, make him cluck like a chicken)

One of our dogs used to play fetch for one. He would drop his tennis ball down a flight of stairs, run to get it, then go back to the top and drop it again.

I can’t see Chazz falling for any of those.

Fetching is a trait called ball drive. Dogs either have it or they don’t. It’s the basis for training military and law enforcement working dogs. Neither of our two dogs fetch. If we throw a ball or stick, they just follow the arc and look back at us, saying, “If you want that thing back, you need to go get it yourself.”

: D Poncho wearing a falconry gauntlet… with a trained eagle… best picture ever!
And as I was curious enough to look up trained eagles, I learned that Poncho (with an eagle) would be called an austringer.
