Thread: Dropping on the retrieve

The Germans do forced retrieving with all their dogs, as do most American top field trial trainers. This gives the most reliable result, but it's hard work and I have no idea how the result will be if you have no experience doing it. An experienced helping hand could be a big step forward.
As Munsey says, go a few steps back. Look on the internet about placeboard training. Make the dog come and sit on a board in front of you without a dummy. If this works perfect, add the dummy to the training and make him come ans sit in exactly the same way on the board. It might help.
