You misunderstood. 6 months is the time for obedience, you are right. But it is way way too early to steady the dog and way too early for hand signals. At 6 mos, you should be working on nothing but obedience. The retrieving at 6 mos should be fun stuff. Not long marks, hand signals or double and triple work. Too early. Go slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
