delivery problem

[lofty95 0]

my nine month old springer when retrieving he does everything fine till it comes to the delivery he keeps running around in circles just in front of me. very frustrating what would be the best plan of attack

You could try kneeling down and caling him in.

 

I let them run right into me and jump up when they are bringing a retrieve back to hand, gets you a bit muddy when you start but they become keen to charge right in and dont circle (in my experience). My cocker will nearly knock me over bringing stuff back and really slams into me.

 

Also worth working the same way with the recall, the dog has to be very enthusiastic to come all the way to you

I have just come over this problem with my ESS bitch.

Get into a field where there is a style,Have your back to the style,Throw the dummie and then send him for it.

When he dont come back to you with the dummie walk back over the style and he will follow you take the dummie off him strait away and give him a massive praise and loads of fuss treats the lot.

Hope this helps mate it worked for me. Give it a go and let me know how you get on do it a few times a day.

Going to say something along the same lines mate. Glad the style thing worked for you mate but he probably doesn't even need that.

It sounds like he is just wanting to play so when he is returning just walk away and pay him no attention until he comes to heel, then slip your hand down and take the dummy. After that lots of praise and a treat. You can gradually stop walking away after a while.

A lot of what the people above have said i agree with with but i would steer clear of this Dobbs dogs rubbish ,forced retreiving electric coller conditioning retriever training eight weeks old its obviously an american site while i have nothing against Americans or their good dog men but this reliance on the F****ing electric coller just shows how good a dog trainer this person is .

Sorry for the rant i cant put into words how mutch I F****ing hate the shock coler.

Hi

My suggestion would be to leave the retrieving for a while and get the RECALL instilled into the pup. I suggest when you recall the pup say its name or "TO ME", and if the pup doesn't do this immediately go after him and give him a couple of sharp tugs around the scruff repeating the command. When he is returning instantly then try a retrieve with the "TO ME" command. If it doesn't work go back to the recalling exercise. believe me it will work eventually, also try to do this in a confined area so you can catch hold of the pup if necessary.

praise the lord finally making progress what i finally got to work was putting him sitting with the dummy in his mouth and calling him in to me, hopefully we will be able to move on from this point thanks all for your suggestion

I would not give treats to the dog after retrieving as this can cause the dog to spit the dummy ready for his treat.

 

good luck
