hey i need some advice on training my dog it is half pointer and half lab. They are about 4-5 months old. He fetches and brings the dummy back 80 % of the time. When should I start with fetching a dummy with feathers. I tried it once or twice already and he just wants to sit their and chew on it. PLease help me this is my first time training my own dog.

You should post this in the Sporting Dogs forum-you'll find what you're looking for in there.
