Default RE: Retriever training.

Since my last post I think I have cured my little Chessie. Every morning after they have had their morning run and before the heat has begun to build. I have been planting a couple of frozen pigeons for her then getting her from the kennel. When I have sent her (the last 3 mornings) she has gone out found the pigeon and delivered it to hand perfectly. This morning she did the same with a clipped pigeon. Tomorrow morning I will be using a frozen duck. Sometimes when I'm training it seems like a light comes on and both of us learn something. I believe it was when I threw the first frozen pigeon and she went for it and began digging at it I just yelled her name and said "NO". I then went out picked it up again tossed it and when I said fetch she picked it up and brought it to me. Thanks to everyone for their input on my problem.
