They are now 6 1/2 weeks old so they have been on solids for 2 weeks,and a few sucks from mum.
Which has helped with the nurture between human and dog.
First we got the idea of retrieving to be fun at 5 1/2 weeks old, a tennis ball is good to start with.

Then we got a good recall with the ball, at 6 weeks old.

A reliable hold is important!...a little competition also helps?

Around this time ,it is advisable to familiarise the pup with the equipment we will be using.

At just over 6 weeks,i't time to introduce them to some Game ,in a relaxed environment .

Well when have got the hang of all that, we can introduce the hunt !

And finish off with a 'Flush'.
