Thread: Don't get a town dog!

@Dundee,...if she has problems with feathers, do not use a duck or wings as the dummy...I just stuff an old sock with another old sock and make that the dummy...until she gets a handle on the retrieving bit first, which you state she has, then tie a wing on the dummy...when she gets that, tie another wing on the dummy so that the dummy is encased in wing feathers but not body feathers...I am bracing myself for a beating on this, but have you considered using treats...just some slices of sausage (no Watties)...if she does good, treat...no good, no treat...you will not need to use the treat thing for very long, if the youn'un has any clues...I used this method on Jarlou when he was being a little shite...only needed the treats for a day and he had the idea...one of the failings from we humans is that we tend to overdo the dummy work...three to four goes, no more...session over...heaps of praise...
