dog training

[keeper23 8]

hi guys.

 

ive had a few dogs in my time and trained them to an ok standard and sold a few on. but i have one now a black lab 13 months old. i got her at six months from a mate to train up for him as he is flat out farming.everything going smoothly with canvas dummies and winged dummies. then tonight took her out with a couple of 12 week partiridge that died when crating up to see how she responds to feather. answer not well. she will pick and bring it back but she really crunches on them and tore the breast. i have been lucky enough to never have a dog thats done this before so wondered if anyone new any ways of stopping this. would freezing a bird help. any responses would be much appricated.

i not had much of this in the past but i have done frozen game and it did not work what i did find good was taking the game in hand and letting the dog take it from there saying gentle then take it straight back any sign of biting shout no and praises as soon as the dog only holds. then put it on the floor and repeat then move away and repeat then throw a foot away from you then further away until happy. I have heard of people using pigeon as if the dog not gentle the feathers will come out in the dogs mouth but this can back firer and they will not collect pigeon at all I hope some of this may help good luck. it slow from the hand but it worked for me.
