My dog won't put ducks in her mouth!!!! HELP

[ELKCHASER]

Had the perfect set up the other day, dropped a duck in the river right in front of the dog. She swam out to it sniffed it and swam right back. I sent her out several times, but she won't bring it back. I killed a duck over land and have been trying to get her to put it in her mouth and it is a struggle. She is a 1 1/2 year old chocolate lab and I trained her with duck wings quite a bit ( apparently not enough!!) What should I do?

Thanks
Pray for cold weather!!

I have a year old black lab. she was doin trhe same thing. I went out two weekends ago with my friend who has a four year okd black. all it took was for my dog to see the other dog pick it up. after she saw the other dog pick it up she sudden;y wannted to hold it too. try this I hope it works.
