[QUOTE="BlackEagle1, post: 5172513, member: 18058"] I really don’t have much to add here. In my experience repetition and consistency are important. If you use different words or signals your pretty much reprogramming. I would say that your pup has plenty of time left before his training is done (based purely on age). The stuff I do on really young pups is easy enough using your choice of dvds and online resources that are now available. I don’t play fetch with young pups and use just a couple “happy” throws at the ends of sessions. Older dogs play but never with work commands or bumpers. As for force fetch I use ear pinch with little collar work but I enforce it at all times. There’s a point where they just won’t spit it out anymore. When they get to this point you can make them bring you the tv remote or whatever is outta reach…. Oh and I can recommend a guy that can fix you up and will encourage you to be at every training session possible. [/QUOTE]
