Hi Guys,
I'm still working with the same dog which is a 2.5 year old yellow lab. He does all the fetching I could want with pistol and S. gun used with blanks or poppers. He is very skittish around a live bird (quail), can scent it and see it but won't go near it the way my other dogs did. My question is, is there some way to help this along or should I just take my time and work up to the point where he'll really go after it? thanks for you help. I've staked the bird and he'll circle it but won't go any closer.
Thanks Rugardave
