Playing With His Retrieves?

[stroller 341]

My young Vizsla is very inconsistent with retrieving shot game, sometimes no bother at all sometimes throwing it about like a toy. Anybody any ideas?

i got mine retrieving everything by throwing game for him in the garden rabbits ,pheasant ,pidgeon what ever he going to be picking up mate do this instead of the dummy you soon wont have any problems

Try teaching him to hold dummy's on command!! Put the dummy in his mouth telling him to hold it!! Just a few seconds then gradually increase the time until u can walk him on his lead and he is holding the dummy without chomping!!! Then when it comes to game if you can seen he is going to play up just give the command hold it!! It worked for me in the past.

But it isn't a lab ........

[stroller 341]

That's true Socks but the dog is 20 months old and he isn't a lab but he is taking the piss a bit even for a Viszla! Some good advice lads he will come right im not putting a lot of pressure on him as he is a clown

what works for one wont work for other but just try it mate get abit of game pheasant pidgeon whatever mate and play fetch with him in the garden if hes not gunna do it while playing in the garden you got no chance when hes on big acres

That's the thing Andy 70% of the time he is spot on. He has retrieved dead and pricked birds no problem then an odd time he just gets daft and wants to play I am pretty sure he will grow out of it

its just frustrating though mate when you know he can do it and should be doing it all the time on command
