My best friend has a strange habit that I cant work out.

My 9 month old lab has sent me completely bald with his strange habit and I have no idea what to do next.

He is steady he is realy switched on and has no fear at all but he will not pick up or carry a plain canvas dummy. If you wrap it in rabbit skin or feathers he has no problem but just a plain dummy and he is very reluctant to pick it up.

I have tryed mixing a canvas in when playing/training but even when I have got him realy pumped up he will reject the canvas.

 

please someone help I had a full head of hair (all be it 10 years ago) and would like to keep the little I have left. Any ideas?

Dave -- my dog did and still does the exact same thing ( i,m also a baldie)

solution -- i ,m not sure mate , but mixing the dummies seemed to cause the problem for me , he would choose the fur and feather dummies over the uncovered dummies almost every time ( more interesting etc ).

so i uncomplicated things by having one retrieving session with fur and feather and one session with the canvas dummies :) ...

the only other thing i can think of is to buy some sent ie pheasant , rabbit etc for the canvas dummies...
