Training / retrieve

We've done a couple of indoor sessions on training a retrieve from Helen Phillips' Clicker Gundog book. The object is placed in a basket at my feet. He's CT for increasing contact with the object, in this case his Orbee bone. By the end of session one he was making contact with his teeth. And by session two he'd got to lifting the bone up and back down into the basket. Now starting to shape his paws out of the basket and will move towards having the object on the outside of the basket for it to be replaced into it to get paid.
