Thread: Dropping on the retrieve

Hermit, how many retrieves are you wanting from the puppy...heaps of praise when he comes to you, get down on your knees and praise and praise...only throw the dummy a maximum of three times per session...make it fun. Dont sweat the small stuff with this...your fullest encouragement may be all he needs...five months old and he is probably feeling undue pressure...I would never use force retrieving and never ever on a five month old puppy...as Munsey writes ease up on this...you have heaps of time...

Thanks folks, yes probably because of his size and because everything else is going so well and easy with him -I suppose one gets a little carried away. I know he's just a nipper and I do realise "I've" got to slow down.

Thanks
