They gained their name because they were bred to retrieve shot down water fowl. And had a golden coloured coat. hence the name 'Golden Retriever'. Google 'teach your dog to retrieve/fetch'. I'm sure you'll find goodadvice there. Despite their name, the ability to retrieve what you throw does not come naturally. You need to teach them how.

Just b/c "Retriever" is in their name does not mean it's natural. Just keep working w/ them. You have 2 train them to retrieve. Just b/c “Retriever” is in their name does not mean it’s natural.
