She is retrieving tennis balls, puppy dummies and pheasant wings. At this early stage we don&#8217;t use the pheasant wing too much for 1 main reason, being the wing is a lot more intriguing and may put her off retrieving tennis balls and dummies which would make early training difficult. Why then do we use it? It is important for any dog to get use to picking up all kinds of objects, if you give the command for her to retrieve you want your dog to make the pick.<\/p>\n<p>As she walks with us to heel off the lead we reinforce the command &#8220;heel&#8221;
