Had Irish Setters in 80/90s . Sarted full time work as the setters aged and died I never replaced them due to work commitments.
My work load has eased somewhat hence buying another Irish and hopefully another one on the way
Fortunately I never had this problem, but I was told that when this happens, we should "re-train" them, that is going out with your pocket full of treats and starting again to let them go just a couple a metres, call them, give them a treat, and increase little by little the distance AND the time between calls.
Good luck, as setters can be very strong minded as we know!!!!
