Find the TP trick

This simple trick combines:

• Back chaining

• Retrieve a stationary object

• Searching

• Multiple finds

To Teach it:

• Begin by working on your dog retrieving a roll of toilet paper from the ground, I use a smaller roll with a rubber band around it at first.

• Work on gradually backing up further and further away as you send the dog to the roll, until you can be out of sight.

• Add obstacles like pillows or easily moved blankets, etc to work past, let the dog watch where you put it.

• Work on putting it in various locations.

• Add a second roll, this will increase the search they have to do for the other roll as most dog’s will forget with the excitement of the first find.

• Back chain your way to the entrance of the search area.

• Add you trick verbal cue.
