Free: Contests & Raffles.
I've been working with my lab since she was 8 weeks old. She has been doing very well but last month or so. When working on blind retrieves or just retrieves in general she will either drop short or simply run up to it look at it and then begin to sniff around.I'm pretty sure she's just getting bored. So I'm here to ask how often do you guys work on retrieves? I've also heard labs will hit a rebellious stage around 8-9 months, how do you break this?She's a great dog but she'd rather sniff around in the bushes by my house where the quail hang out. She's birdy and thats a good thing but I don't want her to be dropping actual birds short either.She's not force fetched either, I haven't done that yet as I'm not 100% sure how to go about it.
