I shot a goose today and took the dog but left him in the truck. As soon as the bird was down I sent him to search for it and he found it, but he will not retrieve it. He started pulling down off of it with his front teeth. I have had him retrieving wings and he loves it. He was terribly excited to see the bird and wimpering like a little pup with excitement but would not bring it back. He did this the first time I started hiim on wings and then did it the next day like a champ.
An ideas on how I need to work him to break him in to retieving geese. I did not take my waders today and lucky for me that bird did not fall in the water.
