Hunted her this weekend. All her marked retrieves were great, but the blinds she went to her typical hunt on her own and eventually find it 5 minutes later deal. Is it too late to try and finish forcing her? She still knows her commands to pick up the bird and delivers to hand just won't work a line and doesn't know hand signals.

You didn't even get to the point of running blinds so why not backup and do it right? Sounds like he/she has been forced but not on birds or to a pile? Single t is next, then swim by and only then pattern blinds(taught blinds). You can finish the process if YOU want a finished DOG! How bad do you want it?? Your dog can be successful but can YOU?? Most hunting/meat dogs have half *** trainers and they make excuses for that kind of training. You can call me anytime and I will walk you through the process or drive to LC and I will show you what to do FREE of Charge. Just make sure you never Low Rent your dog for your poor training methods.
