I have two questions before suggesting a solution. How devoted to "old school" are you? Do you have anyone nearby to train with?

Sit means sit - for:

food
affection
release from the crate
release into the crate
release to retrieve
release to run a blind
we stop walking

put the dog on a leash with pinch collar, while dog is standing standing, have someone throw a bird, say NOTHING, do nothing, just wait until he sits down, then release him immediately, let him drag the leash

lather, rinse, repeat, a million times if you can until when he sees a bird thrown he automatically sits

let him learn on his own that if he doesn't sit, he doesn't get the bird

Non retrieves.

Throw 10 marks and pick them up if he remains steady let him get one as a reward. He's got to learn not every mark is his. After 1 week he will show huge improvement. You might need to add in a gun shot as well.

Where are you Joel? Folks are offering to help, but what are you willing to do? What changes are you willing to make to your 'old school' approach? Heeling stick? E-collar? New method?

Look at some of Hillmans video clips on his website. He advertises here and is in the upper left corner of this screen. Has some clips for older dog too.

I know most folks around here don't approve of Milner, but he has some great stuff, and this is one of them.
Been doing this for 6 weeks with my 4 month old YLF. Next step is intro to gun fire.
