Fetching the Bird
When your dog won't pick up the bird - that is a real problem for duck hunters!!
Many dogs are born with a natural talent to retrieve and are keenly interested in birds as young as 9 or 10 weeks. However, many pups show no interest in birds, yet through training, they become just as eager and as good hunting dogs as the naturals.
The Basic Obedience Course is the foundation from which to advance to the field work. To be sure the dog has a complete understanding of the retrieve it is taught in segments. At the end of the basic course the dog will understand and have the desire to retrieve the bird.
