I have a purebread black lab. We got her last winter and now she is 1 year and 2 months old. She knows all the commands and obeys well- we've been playing fetch w/ a ball with her since we got her. We recently took her out to begin to pheasant hunt- and she isn't catching on. She won't pickup the smell/trail. What tips do you have for us? Did I use the ball too much and now she's on the sight instead of the smell. We are avid hunters and our other 2 labs hunt w/ us. Could it be that she needs to hunt on her own as she may be slower. Any tips you have for us would be appreciated. We will try anything!
