Teaching the 'hold' part of the retrieve involves more than duration. Follow this series of videos with actual training footage to find out what other criteria are involved!

As in training the take and hold, any smooth object can be used. It is usually best to start with an unfamilar object, rather than a toy the dog has previous history doing unwanted behaviors with (shaking, chewing, not bringing back etc).

We now work on sharing holding the object with the dog so she learns it is the holding, not the carrying of the obecjt that is most important. if you allow the dog to hold the object by herself too soon, you risk her developing bad habits like tossing it is her mouth, dropping it,  etc. By having your hand on the object, you can feel if she is engaging in any of these behaviors and also the amount of pressure she is exerting. If she is holding it on her own, you can't always see it happening.
Increase duration slowly and look for the singla that tells you they have their 'aha' moment! Usually once you get past 2 seconds, the longer durationas are easier!

Use a soft sounding clicker and hold it away from her ears if you can.
