Retreiving


Recommended Posts

I need abit of advice with training my lurcher pup to retrieve, ive watched a few dvds such as dave sleights purdeys progress and he has his retrieving socks at 6 weeks old. Mine is 9 weeks and just dosent seem interested it either picks the socks up and shakes them or just sits there uninterested. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

Put the sock on a rope drag the sock around abit when the pup grabbs it , gently and slowly reel it in saying fetch and repeat the process make it fun , don't over do it as it will get sick then eventually you should be able to throw it and it should retrieve it Atb mate JD

try lots of different small objects a crumpled bit of paper or even a toilet roll tube works just as well. smelly socks work better than clean ones :laugh: if the pup doesnt show an interest put a bit of string round it and make hissing noises and drag it about til the pup mouths it the way you would play with a kitten with a bit of string sooner or later itl catch on
