Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hello, im afraid i cant offer you any information about your dog but i can tell you what i used to do with my EBT when i was trying to get him to retrieve shot birds (nightmare it was!) I had a fluffy toy (teddy, bird, rabbit, anything) then just throw it around the garden (or get a mate to chuck it over the fence) and when he brings it back, really praise him and make sure he lets you take it off him and put it in a bag or something so he knows its yours. Might not work and im sure there are people on here that have trained whippets to do this and can offer better advice than i can. Good Luck Gaz Quote Link to post
