Added: 2/12/07 Teach Your Dog To Retrieve On Command
You can steady a retriever without yanking on his choke collar by not sending him after every bird. In training sessions, hitch him to a stake so that he can't take off when you throw a dummy. Toss it three times, making the retrieves yourself. The fourth time, unhitch the dog and command him to retrieve. This teaches the animal to wait for a command before fetching.

I have a llewellin setter pup that I will be training to quail hunt and have already started obedience work. Sit(inside and around the house), stay, come, and reinforcing "whoa". She hasn't had any "formal" bird introdution, but I am trying to get her to"fetch"w/ a ball. When she gets to the ball she grabs it and lays down w/ the it.Is this the just the puppy in her, and also do you think I am starting her to young at 4 months old?
