Only the paint roller down the hallway for now. Sit on the floor at the end of a hallway. Have Tank at your side or between your legs -- get his attention on the roller and toss it toward the end of the hall. If he picks it up, he has only two options : 1. Return to you with it or 2. Not retrieve.

And remember ONLY 3 or 4 retrieves per session (two sessions per day).

Man, that's great! Casey and Lily have really put out a great litter.

Buck hasn't gone tripod, yet, but he's shown pointing tendencies a few times today. He's doing great at retrieving so far. I had forgotten how much fun it was to train an eager-to-please pup!

I couldn't believe how their coats had "reddened" up in the past week. They all looked darker. I love those fox red Labs................. there's nothin' like 'em but more of 'em!

Doc E

Don't worry about the point yet -- Casey was nearly 12 weeks old before his first point.
One of the finest PLs in existance (Otter Dog) didn't point until he was 6 months old.

he does'nt run off with em Doc....just chase's it, then just lay's down and start's chewing..

Grouse Gitter

I guess I'm a little anxious to see that first locked-on, tripod point. There's nothing more cool to see.............especially when it's your own "kid"!

Doc E

long thin rope on the collar -- as soon as he picks it up, reel him in and praise like crazy.
If he drops it as you reel him, don't fret. He'll hold before long.

Wayne,

Have you heard if the last female has found a home yet?

WAYNE1

Nope...Last I heard ....she was still there...

Doc E

Get that check cord on the pup.
