Puppies enjoy it immensely. Retrievers and Retriever crosses have a natural instinct to bring the bone or stick back to you.

Haha it's taken ages but Rosa is finally getting the hang of fetch. Though we haven't got her to actually give me the object yet, it's ways dropped nearby. Training the object names (which she is fantastic at) suddenly made fetch make sense to her apparently!

I've even trained her to bring her muzzle and put her about into it on command heehee, although she's still not too chuffed about actually wearing it. She hasn't clocked on that every time she wears her muzzle it means we're on the way to a park/dog park, or on the way home for a snooze and food.

walking is an activity that you and your puppy can enjoy together starting when your dog is about six weeks old, or as soon as he's leash trained.
If your puppy likes water - as many of the retrieving breeds like Labradors and setters do - swimming can be an excellent exercise for a lifetime. Remember, though, that not all dogs like the water, and never force your puppy to get in the water if he doesn't want to. Also, be sure to provide a step or ramp system for your pup, in case it gets into your pool or spa when you're not around. Of course, the best bet is to treat dogs like kids and not let them near your pool or spa when you're not around to supervise.
