forest 137 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I've gotta pup that is 4 months old now it's retrievein is perfect with caves dummy but now I've changed to a rabbit skin dummy it is totally different ballgame it is just wants play and piss arss about so I've gone back to the canvas dummy for now thinking that it's to young for the fur one . Is this the right thing to do or would you stick with the rabbit skin one and persevere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Too young. When it's time to use the fur dummy just let the pup carry it on the lead for a while IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest 137 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 That's good advice thank you il try that I guess I'm just been a bit to keen it's 7 year since I had to break my last pup in when would you say it's the right time to introduce the fur dummy 7 / 8 months?

butcherboy 68 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Far too young. When you restart with the fur dummy you do not need to go all in. A strip of fur around the middle of the dummy is good for getting them started. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chook1 184 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Personally i would stick with the skin dummy and go back to basics, use a training lead if you have to - to start with as you may just get the same messing around when you start later, let her get the silliness out of her system and then start, don't forget training should be about having fun anyway my youngster was started at 7 weeks with a rabbit skin.
