Golden Retriever.

Hi guys, Well i've got a Golden retriever that i want to train to retrieve for me, (when i go out shooting), but the only thing is, is that it's a 7 Year Old Dog and i was wondering if i would still be able to get it to retrieve?

If i would be able to get it to, does anybody have any suggestions on how i could train it?

Thank you.

well the name retriever means they are great at retrieving but a 7 year old dog might be another thing mate.but theres no harm in trying is there? i would just throw a ball or a sock and if the dog even picks it up and carries it your on to a good thing .if it does the above just go down to the dogs level and make a right fuss it normally makes the dog want to investigate the [fuss] then if the dog comes to you give it a treat and end the game. next day do the same but do it once more then end it .after a week or so you should see results ,if not either persevere or just admit the dog is spoilt being 7yrs old with no training .i reckon the dog will come good mate atb billy

Cheers mate, i have been throwing a toy duck around the garden and have been managing to get him to sit and then go and retrieve it then bring it back and sit again then drop it, but some times he just gets distracted and starts running about hahaa. but i think it's going to work

just dont over do it as it can back fire mate always pack in when the dog is enjoying itself so the next time you do it he will remember it as enjoyment
