Hi mate can you elaborate a bit?

 

Is this just throwing the dummy in the water and telling the dog to fetch it?

 

I took my Lab for a swim in a pond the other day and he loved it. When he got out he was really exited. When he gets used to the water more I'd like to try him retrieving from water.

 

Best of Luck with the dog mate

THANKS MATE

MAKE SURE YOUE COMFORTABLE WITH THE FETCH COMAND ON LAND FIRST

THEN THROW DUMMY A LITTLE WAY IN ,SEND FETCH COMAND AND ENCOURAGE ,PRAISE ALL THE WAY TILL COMFORTABLE WITH RETRIVE.

(MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO TIE CATGUT ON DUMMY INCASE NOT RETREIVED)

BEST OF LUCK AND ENJOY
