INTRODUCING YOUR PUPPY TO RETRIEVING

This article is packed with information about training your puppy to become a reliable companion while hunting ducks. The author takes you through a step-by-step guide to commands, procedures, and suggestions to avoid common mistakes made by over-zealous trainers. The key? Start slowly, and start young. Understanding what makes a dog "gun shy" and why teaching the dog how to handle a bird appropriately will help you mold your pup into a skillful retriever. There are no photos or graphics, just one very lengthy article on the subject, written by a trainer of Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and Labs. Any hunter with a dog should read this. It covers a lot of obedience work and tricks of the trade.
