We do this with say 6 month old up pups. Not long swims! Just long land entry. Swims might be only 20 feet, drive on land might be 20 to 100 yards. Dog must have strong momentum on land for it to help.
Builds great confidence later on with much longer swims with a long entry. We have used birds and shot flyers with older
FF pups too using the above format
