    Retrieving training questing ?

    Your thoughts and play nicely everyone ! . I've been upping my training lately , after my dog went poorly on retrieving geese . Now he struggled to bring them back , he made it look very awkward and gave in bringing them back . I wasn't too bothered as when I thought about it he's only retrieved quails and a few mallard on land . So it's back too the drawing board , do I make a heavy dummy for Him ? Or do I drill him night after night on a normal dummy ? . I'm not sure on heavy dummy as will this make him hard in the mouth ? . Ive noticed that as dogs get older they tend too get a little harder in the mouth . As he's young he is very soft , which I like as quail is really my target and nothing worse than "flat packed quail !". On side question do field trail dogs get marked down if they are hard in the mouth ? .
