How can you tell the dog doesn't like to work?
Not sure if you mean in general or OP's dog?
I meant Mastercasters dog since you quoted him in your reply. My take was that it was him and not the dog that was quitting early on the retrieve training sessions.
I work on some aspect of retrieving daily with Sako but I just want to make sure we're not doing too much,,,,for her sake. I'm retired so I'd stay out for much longer periods of time if I felt she'd never get stale from it. My problem, what with living within city limits, is that I don't have access to live birds, and especially wild birds. Wish I did because that would make the drills a whole lot more fun for the both of us. No NAVHDA chapters in our province, unfortunately, because I'd get involved with them in a heartbeat.
