Eating the bird!
have any of you ever had this problem? my springer spaniel will fetch sticks, balls, etc., but whenever i try a dead pigeon, he immediatly tries to gulp it down. So i tied a 30 foot rope on him and made him fetch, dragging him back to me while saying "come". then i praise him and trade the bird for a treat, but then he still tries to eat it! will he get the picture in time? or am i doing it wrong?
