Have attempted to deploy Fenton
I trained her all winter and spring by breaking a bit off a treat, saying "catch" and throwing it to her and she does indeed catch it (she didn't at first but quickly learned).
The idea was to get her to catch and delete flies just by saying "catch" when one came in.
The trigger word is important: she can't be going after everything that flies past because bee venom is quite dangerous to dogs.
Spoiler: this doesn't work. Don't try it at home.
