Splash Kennels Breed and train Labrador’s Retrievers Since getting back into raising animals in 2007, I've raised and conditioned quit a few companionable working labs.

In doing so I have studied the health and genetics of these animals and keep up with how quickly the animal understands a certain exercises whether it be OB, handling, whistle coherence etc… on top of all that, always taking a preference is the animals temperament, this being how calm and biddable the animal is. Pedigrees are not what I primarily base my search for a new breeder on, however pedigr

ees do matter and does give someone that is not familiar with the breeder and their training technics, a higher probability of procuring one closer to their style or made up vision of what they expect. Which brings me to what I look for in a companionable game dog. My definition of a Game Dog is one that is genetically sound, calm in temperament, always looking to please and has a natural hunting instinct. One that relies on its nose and not primarily on its eyes. There are several things that I look for in our Game dog breeding program

Dogs that do not whine or noises dog, whining can be genetics, this is measured from the time we acquire the pup to about 12months of age. Most pups will whine but some do so more than others. Most all dogs will make noise, but some will do so more than others. There is a lot of variables in these, such as some conditioning - training methods cause’s noise. Natural tendencies to deliver to hand and a soft hold of game. These are measured from the time we acquire the pup to 6 months. Again there are certain training methods out there that will cause these issues of not delivering to hand and what some call hard mouth if the animal is not conditioned properly. Calm Temperament and Biddable – tractable, this is measured from the time we acquire the pup too around 12months, as most dogs will start to calm with age and there is some that won’t ever mellow. Biddable is measured how well that animal wants to please, which is one of the easiest ones, I find to discern. We personally have raised and conditioned each one of our dogs, unlike most breeders that have not. For the ones we have not raised and have choose to breed to we have had a close relationship with the sire or dame through out their development. When we do a breeding and decide to keep one of the pups out of the litter we will keep the last one left out of the litter after all the others has been picked. That is how strong we feel about our breeding program compared to most out there. Health Testing

We do all the major health testing, Hips and Elbows are X-rayed then sent to the OFA to be scored and Eyes are checked and then OFA cert. We also test for EIC, CNM, PRA and do a DNA profile with the AKC. All test results are disclosed. No exceptions

If You Own a Dog, Or Are Just About to Get One, This is For You
Training a dog is certainly the hardest part of owning a dog. It can be very frustrating having a dog that is not housebroken, or barks excessively, or keeps pulling on the leash during your walks, or doesn't respond whenever it's called, or jumps up on people, etc. You'll be fed up, because it’s pretty exhausting to keep trying to make them listen. You'll wonder how professional dog trainers help dogs behave exactly the way they (the trainers) want them to. But hiring a trainer can be quite expensive, and to be honest, you don’t really need to. I’ll explain how in a minute. First, let me talk about WHY your dog seems to be so hard to train...The reason you are having so much difficulty training your dog is that you've been doing dog training the outdated way. It's not your fault though. The fault really lies with all the bad dog training information that's out there on the Internet and elsewhere. Most people start training their dogs using verbal cues or commands like SIT, STAY, etc. Because that's what they have been taught to do by numerous books on dog training and by all the videos they've seen on the Internet. Here's the problem - that's exactly how NOT to train a dog! Why? Because the science of animal behavior says that starting your training using verbal cues sets your dog up for failure. Dogs that are trained only using verbal cues never get trained properly. Or at least, the training doesn’t last long. So what's the best way to train a dog? The science is very clear on this - dogs are best trained by using body language. Now, this doesn't mean that you should never use verbal cues. What it means is that you should always START your dog's training using body language. Later on, you can bring in a verbal cue to reinforce your dog's training. That's it? Yeah, that's it :-) So how do you train your dog using body language? I just came across this that helps you learn how to do just that. The workshop is designed to help "normal" dogs like yours have the same level of calmness, obedience and impulse control as service dogs. It's being conducted by Dr. Alexa Diaz (one of the top service dog trainers in the U.S.) and Eric Presnall (host of the hit Animal Planet TV show "Who Let the Dogs Out"). Frankly, the techniques described in the workshop are fairly groundbreaking - I haven't seen anyone else talk of these techniques. This is because it's the first time ever (at least that I know of) that anyone has revealed the secret techniques used by the service dog training industry to train service dogs. In the FREE workshop https://k9ti.org/r/trainmybff/free-workshop/ you will learn. How to train your dog using body language, rather than verbal cues. The 3 key techniques that service dog trainers use to train dogs, and how you can use them too. The most important step that "normal" dog owners have been missing (this is very important to get your dog’s attention, and it works 100% of the time). How to stop bad behaviors like excessive barking, pulling on the leash, jumping, etc. Why a lot of dog owners are unable to establish the amazing bond that service dog trainers have with their dogs. The tips shared in this free workshop work on ALL dog breeds and ALL sizes. Also, puppies as young as 6 weeks old, and previously untrained adult dogs as old as 13 years, have been successfully trained using these techniques. It's not a live workshop - rather, it's a pre-recorded workshop, which means that you can watch it at your convenience. However, while the workshop is free, I am not sure whether it's going to be online for too long, so please check it out as soon as you can.
