Yesterday, I got the bright idea to ask for his formal retrieves again. Well, what showed up was the fact he hadn't done it in so long that he lost the position for bringing it back. While trying to get him to line up and come close enough for me to take the dumbbell from him without having to reach too far, the whole behavior just about fell apart!
He would go get it, but bringing it back ended up triggering a wide array of really strange stuff I never seen him do even when first learning this. He would wonder around then come back, take the dumbbell and carry it off somewhere, then put it down and get it again. He wouldn't get it even at times without being told to get it.
