Thanks for reply, she comes right up to me and starts circling, the retrieve is ok. if i try to get the dummy she just backs off. If i do get to manage to get to the dummy she gives it up ok. Virgil

Hi, i have been training my first gun dog a Lab bitch and i`m struggling with her giving up the dummy! She was ok when i first started training but when she hit 13 to 14 months she started being a pain with not giving up dummy. She does it with all toys like tennis ball, she will carry a ball or dummy all day but won`t give it up. I know it`s probably something i`ve done and she has picked up on it. It is my first time with a gun dog so i expected making mistakes. She is 15 months now i know i have loads of time but need advice please. V

Hi, I insure my Lab bitch with more>than. It cost`s me £14.99 at the moment it`s just gone up, but they are good at paying out with claims. I claimed for my first Lab bitch who sadly died, they paid me the full cost of her purchase. And the bitch i have now had a cut pad that needed emegency vet & stitching cost me about £400 in vets bills, glad i was insured. Also more>than pay for treatment for the rest of the dogs life if it becomes say diabetic or something long term. Other companys will only pay the first 12 months Virgil.
