Sounds Like You Are Getting It Worked Out-way to to. Take your time and enjoy your pooch!

I had a similar problem with my Chesapeake bitch last year. She had been hunted over for 2 yrs prior to the incident! I dont know what caused the sudden problem but it took some time to get over and...

Pretty coat on that one!

Love the Avery Boaters Parka-although it seems to fit a little loose around the neck even w/o trimming. It sure is great to drag the dog into the boat or onto the stand though!

My boy Jester has been 80 lbs since he was 9 months, he is a little over a year now, and I dont expect him to get much bigger. His sire weighs 80 lbs also.

I would try to get him started on that second bird in the water as mentioned above.

Thank you everyone for the great advice. We will take it all to practice!

Doing stick fetch and force to pile with my 10-mnth old CBR. All went well and he is driving to the back pile. We are getting ready to start Mini-T. He now is looking back at me and running somewhat...

Love those funny colored dogs of yours!

Awesome! Looks like you have an impressive pack of brown dogs!

This is very interesting. I guess it would be hard for the dog to cognitively think about its being calm emotionally causing it to be able to retrieve. I have seen this method work on a very jacked...

I might get burned for this but if you have a dog that is that incredibly hot wouldnt denials be a good tool. It seems that if the dog is that amped up then he shouldnt lose focus on the fall if you...

I have his videos and do like them. Im afraid that I dont have any others to compare them to Im afraid. Until this year I was a bare minimum "meat dog" type of guy. Its when I decided to jump into...

I have had a similar problem in the past. It seemed to help my dog understand when I held the dog back with its collar while applying the ear pinch-delaying the time it took for the dog to get the...

Remote swimby in the videos is just the same drill repeated in a different pond. It helps the dog generalize what he has learned. ;)

Evan-I myself am not resistant to swimby. I was just wondering what some of the other options would be in the absence of. I do see the value in it for promoting more water. Ive only done it with one...

In the absence of swimby, what are some options for transferring handling to the water?
