Well, the video shows a dog that seems to be walking along reasonably nicely! Which doesn't really show why you are struggling..... All I can...
The tedious but very, very, necessary bit....the long slog of proofing. Proofing stay (wait) on a busy bit of Wimbledon Common with dogs, ball...
Ok, that sounds a bit odd, to be honest. You can't keep a dog by your side by 'holding' him on a short lead - well, not unless it's an emergency...
Ok, Charlie says he thinks that's a girl thing.
Why do you think you need a short lead?
Who has dogs that poo in the garden anyway? Do girls poo in the garden? In the last 2.5 year (since he was 6 months), Charlie has only ever had a...
The first ever video I posted was my attempt at a clicker retrieve. I was a beginner, without a trainer, figuring it out from books. Everyone was...
I notice they demonstrate it with neat piles of poo on nice flat surfaces....like to see it tackle Charlie's best efforts when he thinks "I'll...
It is indeed his special pink ball - he's man enough to wear pink - I'll post what he did in order to earn it on the training boards. :)

Love find the apple! :D
I hope a new puppy makes you smile, and brings some joy back into your home - they are good at that. :) My Dad describes people who don't have...
Sorry, @Newbie Lab Owner - I didn't read all your previous posts before answering. I see you've tried a few things already and have thought about...
I don't use that system, no - I made my own at first, which worked fine for me, even through Charlie's worse phase, but if someone is at all...
Aw...Mags...*sniff* she looks amazing!
Sounds like you play fetch, find it and hunt together games, @Stacia. The thing about proper games, is they have structure, and rules. So if you...
Do be careful, and try this out on flat, clear ground. I do use a leather across the shoulder hunting lead with Charlie and he walks very well on...
Goalie just happened. It was spontaneous steadiness on Charlie's behalf! He loves chasing a ball, so he'll wait for it to be kicked. I honestly...
Oh, the other thing is you can use a tug toy with food in it to get started, a sock would work but I think Tuff e Nuff sells one...
