[QUOTE="kurtz.nb, post: 2652360, member: 124908"] I have a 4 year old fox red lab who has been bird hunting for 3 years. She is really quite good, as she will point, flush and retrieve consistently every time. Yesterday was my first day out for the season and she did everything well, accept for retrieving the bird. Instead, she would find it after being downed, but would just sit next to it and refused to pick it up. This happened for all three birds. Also, about three weeks ago we had a Woodcock hit the window of our cabin and die. For fun, I tried having here retrieve that bird but she also refused. Any thoughts on what might cause this and more importantly any advice? She was at a trainer this summer working on skills while we were on vacation and I wonder if something happened there. I’ve reached out but am still awaiting a response. He had her on an e- collar which is something she had only just started to have exposure to prior and was a long way from being perfected. Thanks Nick [/QUOTE]
