Frustration
I brought my black lab out hunting with me for the first time. He is only 7 months but i thought he was ready. Been training him all summer and throughout the training he did awesome.... darn near perfect. I shot the first duck and i know he seen it land...... he watched it come in... and when i shot it it landed 10 yards away and he just looked at it and then to me as if to say.... you get it..... i went out and got the duck in my chest waiters and the dog followed me out... he picked up the duck and brought it back with him..... i tried to take it away from him with all the commands i taught him during training... i told him to sit.... he did.... i told him to give and i put my hand on the duck... he had the thing in a vice grip and would not let go....
How do i fix him not letting go of the duck?
and
How do i teach him that when i shoot and drop a duck... he goes and gets it?
