sorel-2007 0 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well done mate. Whilst training my pup I taught he to retieve a ball and as soon as he picked up the ball I squeaked like a rabbit for his recall. That way upon hearing a squeak he came to me. Worked for me, give it a go. Anyway best of luck. Quote Link to post

jeepster 0 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 No dog is too old to learn, mate - the older they are the more training it takes, & we are more likely to give up on it the longer it takes. Good luck with him, he's got the makings so it would seem. Quote Link to post
