Here is my technique for training a delicate Service Dog retrieve using EASTER EGGS. At this time of year, lots of stores sell these plastic easter eggs which you can use to teach a delicate retrieve. Please do not try this exercise if you think your dog will crush the egg or eat it... First practice having your dog hold objects that are not breakable in a calm manner before moving onto something this delicate.

This video shows how to teach a delicate "hold" to a dog who can already hold or retrieve an object. To initially teach a "hold" or "retrieve" check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nm4goEuBt4
