[QUOTE="bigv, post: 274936, member: 835"] Lots of issues. Mostly he is young and goofy and two-as others mentioned, he is testing you a bit. Check cord will work to bring him in. Get rid of the tennis ball. Use bumpers. You need to be firm with him. Don't pussy foot around with him. If not giving up ball or bumper wrap hand across top of muzzle with fingers squeezing jaw and gums into teeth. It will hurt. As he squirms a bit hold on tight and firmly say "drop" several times. Be firm..he'll catch on quick. He doesn't come in the garage because he doesn't want to. Force Fetching would solve 90% of these issues. FF isn't about teaching a dog to fetch it's about teaching him to do as he is told. Using a collar can ruin a dog if not used properly. Only use as commands are given and not followed. Never shock a dog on a retrieve. He'll learn to NOT retrieve. Shock collars should be used for obedience. I've trained dogs for years. If you have more specific questions pm me. [/QUOTE]
