[QUOTE="wildeyes, post: 90822, member: 452"] its funny how a lab is a retriever and when I was training her with feathers on the dummy before hunting season she would pick it up and bring it back no problem. Then Bacon invited me down to his place ( the nice guy he is) and the first bird that was dropped in front of her she would pick up and drop won't bring it back. Easy fix take bird home practice fetching with dead bird problem solved. One of the things with training that I learn with the other 2 labs was the first year of hunting you can not get out enough hunting in so they learn the game. I cant say this enough. the first year get out as much as you can after that they know what the game is. Now all I work on is control , switching directions when she starts to get to far in front ( she always whats to be in front this works good. I been using hand signals to point her in a direction I want her to go and she is getting it. The first times I took her out was in fields that had birds in them and she didn't know what she was doing or hunting this made it so I could pull her off of pheasants to come back to me. more control. Now after the first season hunting more then 25+ times she know what she is hunting game on . fun stuff. [/QUOTE]
