Any duck dog advice?
I've hit the wall with training my new retriever. He had done so well until last week or so. Now he is rebelling and becoming a giant pansy when we go to train. He whimpers as if he's been beaten (he hasn't) just when he's been sharply corrected. Needless to say I thought he was a headstrong bully but he may be a softy. It all started when we hit the point in his training in which I started having to get firm and scold him when he would not listen or cooperate and he just hasn't taken very kindly to that.
Needless to say it's very hard to keep my cool. It's just very frustrating because he is a brilliantly smart dog already. Obviously smart enough to know that he doesn't want to get corrected so he just doesn't do it at all.
Hoping it passes. Gonna give him a few days off and just play with him and not worry about working him. Hopefully that helps.
