My GSP has been really slow at perfecting her retrieve. A big part of the problem has been me not having enough time to work with her. But she's finally come around and will retrieve her fetching dummy to my hand every time. The problem is that if I throw something different she doesn't seem to think the same rules apply. And this applies to birds too. I'd like to try to figure out how to make her understand that she needs to fetch up anything that I throw (or shoot). I'm not sure how to teach her that connection without spending the outrageous amount of time it took to get her to this point.

Any suggestions?
