We have a 15 month old GSP and due to work and other obligations, I really have not begun to get serious about her field work until recently.
I know I'm late with her!
This afternoon I took her out on a check cord and let her walk and trot through some tall grass, ditches and brush. She seemed to be very happy, but the attention span was that of a child. Too many smells and distractions I am sure.
My one main concern though was retrieving. When she was a pup, she loved to fetch and retrieve. She will still walk around with toys in her mouth, never putting them down. Which I encourage (the keeping of the toy in the mouth). However, today, she ran after the bumber once or twice and that was it. After that, she could careless.
What path do you more experienced folks recommend, with a dog of this age?
