Thanks guys, sounds like good advice and ideas which I really appreciate. We've done the yard game and continue to do so. He loves to retrieve and on occasion he will take a victory lab around the yard, but he will always come in when I use the FETCH or FETCH IT command. He will also pick up ANYTHING, any object that he encounters that interests him. Except, of course for pheasants, grouse and woodcock so far. He has always had a very soft mouth on objects that he is carrying and my sense is that he doesn't want to injure or damage the bird. He will mouth them but he won't pick them up. I'll do some research and keep at it. Thanks again for the interest and advice.
