birddog 1,354 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 short answer : plenty of patience, go back to basics treat him like a pup again, get him ball orientated in the park it'll help reinforce the sit,stay and fetch commands, if hes picking the dummy / rabbit up but not coming straight in try the old alleyway trick where he cant go anywhere else and remember hes an individual he'll maybe respond to things other than what training manuals say try and out think him and don't overdo it or let him get bored again your the boss stop when he's still keen. hope this helps Quote Link to post
