Doc E
I havent gave him a live bird yet thats next . I have been using" Retriever Traing For th Duck Hunter" by Robert Milner as a refrence the only thing is he starts out with a weined pup and Iam starting out with a 4 month old . He was gaved to me by my brother in law and he said that he was retrieveing when he got him so Iam thinking some where his young daughters might have messed him upby chasing him and taking his toy from him .

And yes I have got ahead of my self I started in on the obedience because he was ill manered and never even dreamed he wouldnt retrieve.I was wrong
So what I have done is stoped with the every day obedience and started taking him for walks in the pasters and timbers off lead let him run and try to find his instincts aleast thats what the book has said to do with him .

He charges out to what I throw somtimes grabs or lays his front legs on it and chewsonitwhen he does a tell him here then he drops it or dont pick it up and he charges back .
Maybe its me let me know what you think .
And dont worry about hurting my feelings I know I have alot to learn also
