Spaniel Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Get the dog to hold the dummy and then release on command, forget the throwing and retrieving part for now. You can do this while sat in the kitchen with it on an evening, it wont take long to understand what you are expecting cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 You can force hold the dog but you would be better to pm NTTF and get some sound advice without going down that particular road just yet. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hw100ktverminator Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hi mark12345, spaniel is going down the right line, remove the delivery section of the retrieve excersise and train it totally seperate. Just sit the dog in front as if it had just returned from a retrieve, give it your hold command and deliver the retrieve item for the dog to hold, when the dog takes hold and shows the desired behaviour ie nice calm hold before it as the chance to spit or drop the item give the leave command, deliver praise and reward. Do this in short but often stints untill the dog understands that you require it to hold untill given the leave command and then just lengthen the time the dog is left holding the dummy. But watch carefully as to not let too much time elapse at the beginnig as it dprops the dummy this will be negative training also short successful sessions as not to put too much pressure on the young dog. Do not move on to the lengthening part too quick you need the dogs understanding of what you want to be set concrete. Cheers Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
