Anybody have any drill advice for a couple issues with my year old lab?
She doesn’t do a great job keeping eyes on birds after they flush. I typically have to mark them and guide her to them and tell her to hunt dead.
She retrieves chukar fine with no problem, but seems to have an issue with pheasants. She’s supposedly been force fetched but she took about 5 minutes to get a rooster to me from 15 yards away. She kept picking the bird up and dropping it and acted like she didn’t know what to do, and at one point just looked at me and I had to tell her to fetch it up about a dozen times.
Any advice?
