Kneel down so you are at her height for the release of the bird, for starters...never pull or snatch the bird!!! There is the flank tweak for getting the dog to release the bird...I have been told how to do it but have never needed so it was 'deleted'...I am sure one of the guys will know. Again, when you call her in stay with a specific command ie come, here, to me or whatever you choose...The commands must be consistent...so the dog is in no doubt what you are meaning...

    Yeah that makes sense. I can't kneel down haha. Would "Drop it" do?

    Yes drop would be ok as long as that is the word for release...where she brings you the bird/rabbit/hare...so you can reach down ok though to take the dummy or bird?

    Listen to and learn from this lady Toby
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    She doesn't normally leave the property. Would bones get her fat? I never thought they would which is why I leave her to it.

    First of all I wouldn't have your dog retrieving shit; I'm impressed that she can bring it back with out it falling to pieces though.
