Poacherspocket 189 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I had a similar problem where my dog would run around me or not come right into me with the ball or dummy. So a wise old guy I know told me to do retrieval training somewere narrow where the dig can only come to you or run the opposite direction. I started at the local snicket then progressed to the pennine trail is slightly wider then in the wood then thr open field. Got there in the end. Good luck. Quote Link to post

echo 24 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 you can also throw the ball behind you and send the pup.As he picks it up keep walking away and as he comes in crouch down and make a fuss of him.If he picks something up in the house you don;t want him to.Exchange for a toy.Never tell him off.Enjoy your pup Quote Link to post
