socks 32,253 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Just out of curiosity does it bother you dropping the dummy by your feet Not at all she is only 4 months old and this is just the start of her retrieve training ... For now I am happy that she will hunt the cover find and retrieve ... The polishing and fine detail will come later on down the line as she gets older ....... 2 Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Guys I can only just put a post up let alone a step by step guide on how I do things ... I look at every pup/dog differently and tailor their training to the particular animal ... This pup is really quite a serious little thing and to get her to the state of enjoying herself to play with me is a page worth of writing alone before I could even begin to go through the phases I use to get her to want to dive into cover over her head to bring me back a dummy ... I'm not really a writer fellas sorry ........ Quote Link to post

I play tug but that hasn't changed much I don't think. The main thing is he brings it right to me I suppose. She looks a lively little thing Quote Link to post
