Live Duck Intro For Axel

[Goosehunter]

So Axel has already been hunting pheasants and has had many chuckers shot over him but never any ducks. Sooo, we bought 2 ducks and went to the training pond. Meanwhile, Miss Annie is working on honoring the retrieve of another dog. I can't tell ya how hard this is for her just to watch but she's doing well.




2nd duck didn't go exactly as planned.
The flight feathers are trimmed so the duck can't fly away and we zip tie the legs together so the dog can catch the darn duck.
Guess we didn't get the zip tie tight enough and this is what happened.
This video shows how things can go wrong in dog training. Nice retrieve by Axel's owner!!

Good stuff, and some funny stuff..... Thank you for sharing.

We're gonna do this again cause Axel needs to retrieve the bird to hand and Annie needs to sit in one spot during the retrieve.
We gotta clean it up to look more like this every time.

Well trained dogs, you obviously put your time in with them.
