My boy is exactly like this girl. Very animated. Nice to see a dog that acts like mine, focus work took a lot of effort on my part. She also has long legs like mine. My boy is a year now and doing great, thanks to your videos. Field training is going well. Loves retrieving the birds. One thing I did that worked great was teaching my boy to "turn" left and right in circles pretty much from 8 weeks old. When I started back retrieves, he knew the hand signals already and effortlessly turned for the bird in the direction I signaled, no side stepping needed. Happy accident since I had no idea I would be doing back retrieves when I got him.
My garden isn't exactly puppy friendly, I didn't expect to be given a puppy , he started ripping the garden up as soon as he got out there . How do you stop that ,
Yet another excellent training session 👍
Brilliant work and advice Chris,, this is how my Brett returns 👍🤠

You need to buy yourself some puppy panels and create a safe area something long-term otherwise you'll end up in a right pickle
