Not retreiving birds...
Had my 11 month old Lab out pheasant hunting for the first time last weekend. She did pretty good....but she would not return with the birds....she would find them and start to lick and eat feathers....keep the wings and tried training with just the wings and still has the problem of wanting to eat or not return with them.....we have worked on retrieves with the dummy and with doves but I guess the bigger birds taste better....any way to correct this?
