Put her on a long lead, throw the ball (not too far) and let her pick it up and then call her and gently encourage her to come back with little tiny tugs to the lead as soon as she starts to come to you release the pressure on the lead and make a huge fuss when she does, she will soon get the hang of it.

do the retrieves in a passage way, so it has to return to you, reward it and praise it, don't do retrieves in open space until it is doing it happily, don't take the dummy off it straight away, let it hold it, then say mine or dead or ta, always use same word.

 

Look back a few pages and see article , training a lamping pup, may be of use, good luck

it must be the bedlington in it.my bedlington is just the same she'll chase it ut then only picks it up if she feels like and brings it back when she feels like it to. but saying that she'll bring rats she catches to me so all is not lost. i,ve just crossed her with a whipett. and she gave birth to 2 dogs and 2 bitches. can't wait for the one i pick to start catching rabbits!!!! only 4 weeks old, feels like an age away before i'll be out working with it
