After taking Remy out to my family's ranch this past weekend and really seeing his desire to retrieve, I'm very interested in training for field work. I'm not sure that I would ever compete, but I think that it would really satisfy Remy's desire to work and would make him a much happier dog.

We did introduce guns this past weekend and he is perfectly fine with them... Not at all startled. We played around with a bumper and duck scent and I've honestly never seen Remy so eager to work!

However, he just turned 7 months old and I think that most people start this journey much younger. Do you think he is too old at 7 months to really grasp field work?

I certainly don't think he's too old

Um, no. Go for it

He is at the opportune age--that's right about when most of us start formal basics! Go for it!

In a word no. That is actually just about the the right age to start Force Fetch. That pup is primed and ready to go. Do him a favor and go for it!!!
