👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for sharing! Super encouraging to see your dog work through new skills and doing some of the same things I see with my pup. Great tips as always
My 8 month YLF is still doing the run up and sniff "oh this is fun let me lick it" and not just grabbing and coming and back. I have to get really silly excited and even start to run away myself to get her to pick it up and coming running. Maybe a FF issue more so than a bird issue
My Toller will chase and sprint after the hen mallard I got but when she gets there she just sniffs and sniffs and won’t pick it up. Does fine with a wing but not a whole bird. I’m gonna have to try the leash trick and see if it helps great video as always
@@steezli the check cord trick he did in the video worked like a charm. Throw the bird soon as she gets to it if she didn’t instantly pick it up I’d pull her away from it. 3-4 times and she started grabbing it no problem.
ENJOYED YOUR INTERVIEW ON THE NO BAD DOGS PODCAST... I KNOW YOU MAINLY WORK WITH LABS, BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF YOU HAD EVER WORKED WITH STANDARD POODLES FOR HUNTING/RETRIEVING PURPOSES? HOW WAS IT? OR ARE YOU CURIOUS TO TRY THEM AT ALL?
I wasn't able to start this young with our Lab gunner. He went in with a pro trainer and they had him retrieving ducks with no problems. I've been working with him using frozen dove, in prep for dove season, but when I switched to refrigerated dove (which are softer) he is chewing and crushing bones, tearing up the birds. He didn't do this with the larger ducks. ANy suggestions? Ive been throwing an assortment of different sized bumpers, I also bought a EZ dove decoy with has the right size and floppy head. Any suggestions?
Pup takes bird. Never gives it back!??? Makes sense for your canine. This is chewy lunch 😅. Young pups do this. It's fine. A lot of Retrievers give it back even when you toss a wing at 12 weeks old. That's many years of genetic cultivation at work. Fine for a young pup to take the bird and not give it back. Make this fun! This instruction is excellent! Handler displays knowledge of having trained Retrievers in a way that tells me he has had formal training to train Retrievers for field trials and hunt tests. Textbook instruction video! 👍
I like your problem solving in this video. Younger dogs don't always get a new concept right the first time.
Thank you!!!
I love you and the standing stone kennels coming together. Great for both versatile and duck training.
Recall is everything..
He's so cute 🥰 so full of life and energy

Good video Bob. Very thorough.
Thank you so much!! See you soon
Your timing couldn't be better. Just about to introduce by golden pup to birds. As always, great content!
Thank you!

Love the new video intro!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Nice, thank you

What did you end up doing? Having the same issue with my Toller

Thank you so much! Appreciate it! I haven’t as far as hunting goes, but we’ve worked with them on obedience

Any advice for a dog that wont bring the bird back even with the check cord? She just rips it apart
ahh yea, this is tough. we have a force fetch course that would certainly help. feel free to check it out: loneduck.podia.com/force-fetch
but also, it could be an age thing or maybe something else. i dont know enough about the dog to fully determine the issue but yes, FF would help

Thank you! Been in the game and enjoy it!
Who would introduce a dog to dead game when it hasn't even learnt to come when called ?
