DOG TRAINING ( retriever )

A few simple rules I follow training a retriever from a puppy to a trained pooch

1 obedience and relationship comes first in the early stages of the dogs life . Develop a working relationship

2 “ get them running “ put the drive in the dog before you put the breaks on.

3 directions before the stop I like to train a direction in a dog before I train the stop.

4 stop whistle and handling . Only put the stop on if you’ve got drive in a dog.

5 obstacles and natural barriers . Natural barriers is what I wean by running a line through cover or over water.

6 game and shot . Introduce shot fairly early and fur and feather but not the real thing till all others are cemented

These are a few simple steps I was taught and follow depending on ability , temperament, and problems we run into .

Don’t do treat training I only try and teach the dog between right and wrong and develop a good working relationship between you and the dog.

This is the only way it’s the way I like to train ✌️
