I hope you don't mind addressing a dog training problem that has
me befuddled.

Kaylin was doing water retrieves yesterday. I put her in a sit-stay,
throw the dummy on the water, give her the OKAY and she bolts into
the pond, swims to the dummy and brings it back. She's been doing
this reliably for awhile now. Until yesterday.

There were a pair of ducks on the pond. Everything went according to
plan until she got the dummy in her mouth. As soon as she got the
dummy she started swimming hell bent for leather towards the ducks.
She chased them into the air, got out on the other side of the pond,
dropped the dummy and then chased them on foot until I finally got
her back with a recall.

I don't want to discourage an interest in birds but obviously I've
got a problem. Any advice ?


Hey, it could be worse!
