I was curious if you had any tips for having the pup return with the dummy or bird. So far, she is starting to get distracted from her task. I will kneel down with her on my right and tell her to sit and stay. i take the dummy and make her want to get it. I throw it a bit and release her. Recently, she is not bringing the dummy back. She will pick it up and then drop it and start to wonder off to sniff the ground( mostly for goose poop). So i got some dead birds and i would do the same thing. This time she stops and starts to eat all the feathers off the bird. She is a 4.5 month female lab. Does anyone have any suggestions how to stop her from doing this and returning with the object? thanks
