  8. retrieves to hand advice - NTTF -anyone

    in Dogs and Dog Training

    Posted

    Dont know if this is going to be a problem or not, jacks retrives are good , but he'll only retrieve his favourite dummy to hand ( the rabbit skin one). The rest he'll retrieve but drop them about 3-4 feet away, but still come in for his praise / treat

    his other dummies are normal ones tennis ball , plain dummy etc.

     

    now what i was wondering is , is this be a problem that i can correct , or shall i cover his other dummies with some thing more tempting ie pheasant feathers etc .

     

    Darren . :huh:

    NTTF -- its slow going , with those chickens , but i can see a difference , he will obey me , but only when i,m in his face as such. then his attention wanders a bit.

    but hes coming on and he is only 9 months old on friday .

     

    Today he let me down though and chased a rabbit in to the next field, but came back only on my third blast of the whistle ( not good i know , but is first time)

    i did,nt make a big deal of it , just gave him praise for coming back .

     

    His sit stays are good/fair and his down is coming on , heal training is taking a little longer ok on lead , but off , cant seem to get him close in on my leg and hes not watching me as such ( which i would like so i can have his attention)

     

    Retrieves good to hand most of the time with rabbit skin dummy.

    All things that i,m sure we'll improve on ( hopefully)

    if you've got anymore tips , please feel free.

    Thanks for asking .

    Darren . :rolleyes:

    Thanks for your support lads , i did wonder about PD's methods <_<

    i know how they sometimes make you feel when they blatantly disobey, especially when someone else is watching.

    i shall continue with training, but leave retrieves out for a while and try and concentrate on his steadiness by keeping him on his lead more.

    tying his lead to a stake sounds like a good idea .

    cheers

    Darren .

    if any one else has a good method please feel free to post .

     

    Also out of curiosty, does PD's method work for any of you, when trying to get your dogs respect

    got Jack ( 9month lab pup) sitting and walking on lead amongst the chickens at the farm, thought all was going well , so i makes him sit and stay and takes off is lead, i stood about 2 feet away from him and all was well , but then suddenly he bolted straight for the cockrel , i call him (voice ) then the whislte, but he just bloody ignored me.

    i had to chase him to catch him and i,m sorry to say, gave him a good lashing with is lead ( dont worry its only a rope type).

     

    Question is -- when your dog disobeys and seems like he is taking the ****, what do you use for punishment???

    How to make him know your not taking any **** today.

    i must say i,ve never hit him or got mad ( never needed to) maybe thats the problem , he does'nt respect me.

    normally hes good and i'm pleased with his training so far, i know hes got the potenial .

    What shall i do <_<?.

  24. more gundog training help needed please

    how do i train or keep my dog from becoming distracted when training, i mean for example other people. kids, other dogs etc.

    Also at the farm where i take him , he as taken to trying to chase the chickens, so i have to put him on his lead when we pass them.

    and now also watches the birds in the garden, i,m sure hes working on a plan to have one for dinner.

    Apart from that basics and retrieves are going well, he as shown much more interest in retrieving correctly since i started using the rabbit skins.

    Any tips welcomed.
