Young lab isn't retrieving this season

[Goosemaster]

My 2 year old isn't retrieving this season.lasr year he was pretty good.I wonder why?

 

[Goosemaster]

I had this problem with one of my other labs 20 or 30 years ago, and I think I just tied wings to a retrieving dummy. He had an aversion to blood at times when he was young. He turned out to be a great bird dog. But yeah he did have some issues with picking up birds when he was young.

Last season he didn't retrieve to hand, but he would bring the bird to within 10 or 15 ft usually.

Did you get him from Wyoming?

I just can't figure out why he isn't picking birds up this year. He's getting to the bird but then just standing there.

When I get to the vehicle, and set a bird on the ground, he picks it up and starts running around.

Can you get your cousin to help with training? Have him hide in the weeds and throw a dummy, then you call the dog back.

 

[Dakotazeb]

Force Fetch will fix that.

My best guess is Mr Jones is on strike after reading that you were looking to replace him with a golden retriever.

He wants to go live with someone who owns a dog trailer.

That's a good idea, but I don't want to get shot by that guy.

When he picks it up, briskly walk away…chances are he’ll grab the bird and follow…dealt with this earlier with a friend’s dog

 

[benelli-banger]

Put a 15’ nylon check cord on so u can reel him in

 

[benelli-banger]

Having another dog competing for the downed bird helped too

Did your dog happen to ever get spurred by a rooster? Happened to my dog and for awhile, she was pretty timid to pick up another bird after that.

Okay I'll try it. I just charged up the old Garmin e-collar, cuz I need to reel him in.

You are starting to piss me off with your Wyoming comments
I’ll put my Wyoming pup against anything you hunt with from Minnesota

Yep that may have happened . This bird went down in the brush and he disappeared, and he didn't come out, he just stayed right there where that bird was.
