How old is the goose you are trying to get him to pick up? My dog has retrieved hundreds of geese but isn't too intrested in one that have been laying around for awhile. Unless I really get on him he will do it but not like it. I am sure someone will have some suggestions on fixing it for you.

I would try getting him moving with walking fetch. Can't eat it doing that.

Tom, if you've got a good hunting spot, don't worry about your dog not picking up a goose. I'll bring my goose fetcher

Try having him pick the goose up in the water. I really beleive the size of the bird throws alot of dogs for a loop. Mine have done better picking them up in the water first. Once they get the hang of it they transition well to land. This may be a fight you can avoid. Good luck.
