Hey Karyn,
Ah thank for the claification. Actually a lot of dogs have a problem with
rthe hand needing to be on the object.
I actually would recommend the same thing I did in my previous message,
just slightly different.
It seems that he is looking at your hand as a "cue" to pick up the
opbject. I would keep my hand there, then next time, have just one finger
touching the object, then your hand with 1/8 of an inch from the object then
1/4 from the object etc. So you are fading away the "cue" that prompts him to
pick up the object. Evnetually your hand will be out of the picture.
Retrieving is a lot of steps, more than we think and I agree with Paul
that you have to keep the dog happy and up doing this. No time to be an
emotional training during this training.
Good Luck!
Christy
