Dummy

[Anne123]

Hi,
Odin is very good at retrieving and loves to do this. The problem I have is how do I teach him to deliver the dummy into my hands instead of throwing it to me and wait for the reward? Are there good youtube tutorials for this?

Sue's thread and link may help for this?
Clicker Retrieve

I always remember a video, involving a sausage, wrapped in tinfoil......
Not my forte though

I'm no expert but I can say what worked with Cassie!
A bit of a multi pronged approach really - a combination of having taught "Hand Touch" which meant she learnt to push her nose into my hand , and also doing Clicker retrieve, which @edzbird has put on a thread on here.
Plus some 121 gundog training, where I learnt to keep my hands out of sight instead of reaching for the dummy.

..yes, the clicker retrieve posted above. I am about to revisit this with Coco as he ALWAYS spits the dummy now (I did have a decent hand delivery with him, but ruined it somewhere along the line). Meg has not got that far yet.
