I have two one-year old labs that I have been gundog training
for approx. 8 months.  These are my first dogs I have
tried to train for hunting.  I am having problems 
teaching them to "fetch up" ie. they drop the dumming 
just before they get to me or they drop it to shake
as they get out of the water.  I have tried scolding
them just as they drop it but I doesn't seem to be
sinking in.  Are there any tricks of the trade I 
should know about?
thanks in advance.
