Hallway Retrieves.
Two or three tosses down a hallway with no exits; quit while the pup still wants one more. Trade for a treat, never rip the bumper away. Desire now, polish later.
Where it sits
Hallway Retrieves is drill 3 of 11 in the retriever puppy program. Seven weeks to six months: the window that never reopens.
Before it: Name Game
Say the name once, party when the pup comes. The name means good things, never call a pup in to correct it.
After it: Crate & Settle
The crate is a den, not a penalty box. Feed in it, ride in it, nap in it, a pup that settles travels to birds its whole life.
Run it with your dog.
