Easy Retrieve
I´m so glad that I decided to change his training. Happy is much more enthusiastic now, he has fun again, and I fell much more relaxed. I do the "normal" retrieve levels, but instead of metal object, i use a wooden dumbbell. At the moment, ther is still a bandgae around to make it softer to hold. He picks it up and carries it already, head very low, and lifts it only right in the end. But he is eager to go after it, noses it a few times, and when I encourage him, he brings it over to me. The first time, he pushed it over 12 ft with his nose and took it only right in front of my feet up…
