this is just my advice mate which has always served me well. stop right where you are and go right back to the basics weather you do it in the halway of your house or the alley wherever you started her retrieve go back 2 and start it all again it will do your head in and will be a constant pain but it will pay off it the evd and it is good to go where your dog cant get past you hope you suss it out and you have a dog what serves you well atb stewie
