Sounds like to need to go back to basics with her.

Dont do any retrieving with her for a while, give her a little break and then just give her one a day till she starts improving, go back to basics!

use an old plastic pop bottle and stick some rabbit fur round it.if need be add a bit of sand to give it weight.ive used this method with all my dogs to get them to retreive to hand and its worked every time as they dont see it as a training dummy

Hello mate, teach her to hold the dummy, open her mouth, place the dummy in it and tell her to hold, press her mouth shut gently, do it for a couple of seconds and slowly increase the time, press slightly harder if needs be, always repeat " hold", get her carrying it saying hold. Do your retrieve training in a passage, so she can't run away and mess about, when she picks the dummy up, tell her hold and call her in , reward with praise and titbit.

Good luck

Hi ferret boy charlie nothing like advice from overseas

Force fetch. At seven months with the adult teeth in. This is a good time to start it. But once you start, you have to go all the way. It sounds like your pup has a good retreiving instinct already. So, your a little ahead of the game.

These links can sort of walk you through it. If they don't work, I can try to send them another way.
