  14. ive an ess pup who is an extremely good hunter but isnt that keen of a retriever, when i'm out training him he'l do everything for me drop to shot, qaurter ground drop to whistle all that craic, just his retrieving wouldnt be the best, after a retrieve or 2 hes showing no interest, but im OK with that as i will be using him for rough shooting so the hunting aspect is more important for me. How do i get him into memory retrieves and onto blind retrieves if i can only get 1 or 2 retrieves from him.

  21. Get your recall sorted first mate, although he's still a bit young, if you had good recall you could just call him in. Teach recall on a line mate so he believes there is absolutely no choice. he has a decent enough recall its just hes that playfull with it he pays no attention, is he young enough to not worry about it as seriously? do you mean tie a rope to his lead and when he doesnt come back tug him in? my dog will be used for rough shooting so it is also important that i dont over do the retrievin
