The other thing you can try is a piece of timber turned into the shape of a dumbbell so that the dog can only pick it up in the middle, I had one made so the ends were large enough that the dog couldn't possibly carry it this way, it had to be picked up by the narrow piece in the middle.
Cheers Josh
We had made a fair bit of progress at home just fetching from my hand. First short retrieve at the park and she just wants to pick it up by the end. Oh man! Patience... wooosaaaa.

As Sally pointed out, you have moved too fast. You made good progress retrieving from hand at home yet when you went to the park you did short retrieves
