Call the non retriever back to sit. Hold her there while the other dog does the retrieve. Do this with dummies until she does it without fail before trying it with real birds. Good, consistent training will cure a lot more bad habits than a Ecollar.
That's excellent training advice, Jon. But if two dogs go after the same bird on a hunt, one of the owners needs to take action to stop one of the dogs. If they haven't gone through your training program, the ecollar is about the only way to do it for a dog that has much prey drive, because they'll definitely want to get the bird. Or, if it's a whoa-broke pointing dog, stop it that way. Or if a flusher so trained, use "hup".
