I dont want to sit her and recall as I dont want her to always associate sitting with coming back to me. Which I believe this could lead too. I keep that a seperate topic, I sit her and always (90% of the time) walk back to her. I believe this will lead to a more steady dog. This is going very well. She will sit and stay when iam 10 - 15 yards away and looks even more attentative the further i get. I have no worries there I hope. On a positive note, today was great. she recalled to me 100% of the time , and sat. That was achieved with bribery, cheese. I think the penny has dropped with th

nice one. very interesting.

Had her out today and she did well returned to me about three time no problem...brilliantly. This was when i had initially let her off the lead. Then she got loads of praise. She then seemed to get her confidence up and would just run about. She then came in but just skirted around me. In the garden later she has been ruturning quite well. Might try tomorrow and keep her on the lead most of the time. Just so she does the good bit for the first three recalls then back on the lead.

yeah I will try to get some pics up ASAP. As i say though its not a retreiving thing i am trying to instill its just a recall/return with out the dummy. I am working on the praise etc when she does return. Its just 50% of the time when she wont come fully in to me. Other than this she is coming on great,,,,sitting is coming on well as well as the sit and stay. Heel work is proving difficult but just been at it two weeks now...slowly but surely. Hows your pups coming on hendo. What you got in your kennel now?

also if i do turn an walk th eother way...and or pip the whistle she will return but not come in to me... She comes in my direction but stays just out of reach.

I am trying to keep away from training the retrieving until i have this in order, sitting, recall heeling etc The problem is i cant stop her picking sticks, bricks and bottles, everything from the garden and fields when iam out. I know its wrong for her to run around with them so end up taking them off her. What can i do, should i just let her keep hold of them when running free. If i take them from her it could make the return worse but if i let her keep hold of them what influence or effects could this have. BTW hendo did you know this is Shade of Teal.......its Andy

I have a springer spaniel who is now seven months but still full of puppy.She wont go far away from me when off the lead but will not always come in the last 10 ft or so. She is getting there with the sit and stay then recall but can i hell get her to return to me 100% of the time when she is running free. Which is what iam trying to achieve.I am at my wits end nearly I have tried treats which worked but now that has worn thin a bit. I am now trying waving a hat or dummy to encourage her but again it depends what mood she is in. Only thing i can think of is a more confined space so she is
