2Tall,

Maybe run out to the dog as he returns "while chopping down" give a good tap on top of the nose and say "HOLD!".. "SIT!"
Go back to the line and bring him in.

Congrats! 4 for 4 very good :)

MAN! That killed me :(

I'm so sorry for your lose. Your post made me think of my old girl... I had to go outside, still miss her very very much..

You did the right by your buddy.. Now he get's...

Just wanted to thank everybody for the suggestions.. they worked :)

I got Suzy really excited for the Goose Dokken which I taped a goose wing to and threw it about 20 feet for her and she ran over...

I wish we had property like that near me. Designed for training with ponds and fields etc.

I'd gladly pay

Thanks everybody for the great advice. I will go get some more geese and save a small one to train with. I did get save some wings so for now I'll tape them to my goose dokken.

She has been forced on bumpers and ducks.

I saved some wings and I do have a goose dokken.

Maybe I should do a force session to get her wanting to make the effort to pick these up.

Hi There,

How do you get your dog to want to retrieve a goose? We took our pup on a goose hunt this past saturday.

She would run out to retrieve them but when she realized how big they are she...

Can I stop on a back and issue a cast in a baseball drill?

If I understand this correctly. Your force to pile is supposed to add sort of an urgency for the dog to get to the pile and provide you a tool to make the dog go to the pile if you get a no go.

I am new trainer as well and had the same issue as you (Still shows in a form of a no-go once in awhile and she's not going with half the speed she used to) BUT I got her going again and am hoping...

Thanks Everybody :)

I very proud of my pup...she's a smart cookie :)

Just had to brag about my pup!

We got our 2nd Junior Pass this weekend. She is going to be a great dog.. if I don't mess her up to much LOL!

Technically we've only messed up 1 mark out of our...

Thanks :)

I was thinking of doing that but was worried about boring her with pile work.

Yeh now when I say Dead Biird she perks up and looks out.

Tonight I am going to attempt to add...

A quick history. I messed up with pressue on the back command (applied pressure at the wrong time. ) She would run out 20 yards and pop with her head low...I command "Back" "nick" "back then she...

WOW! Good job! Glad you were able to save the pup :)

Man you must have been scared!

This is a great post! I have been wondering what Evan meant about leaving cold blinds in the dust after transistioning to cold blinds.

Thanks everybody....:)

First let me say I NEW! BUT

If your on to FTP.. then I think your dog should have already been CC'd to fetch...

I would suggest getting Evan Graham's Smart Fetch DVD & BOOK

I had a guy show...

Very sorry for your loss.

You are certainly correct there we don't have nearly enough time with them.

Ok :)

My pups attitude is getting back to normal now. I only got one no go last night and it was solved with a louder "BACK!" and she didn't pop once last night.

We stretched it out 80 yrds...

I'm following Evan Graham's program.

So I've been teaching pattern blinds in low grass so the bumpers are very easy to see. I'm wondering at what point do you start to teach these in fields with...

Good Job! Congradulations!

Were chasing our second leg in Junior this weekend :)

Welcome :)

Man I wish I started when I was 16 LOL!

:) Thanks Evan.

I hope I"m correct.

I think I figured out what my issue / confusion was. I am totally embarassed about this but I want to post it so others don't make the mistake that I did.

Adding presure to the back and over casts...
