Red Cedar Retrievers

Walking singles with large white bumpers is a great way to stretch out a young pup and improve marking. #retrievertraining #retriever #dogtraining #dogtraining101 #puppy #puppytraining #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram

Hopefully you've been working with your dog all summer preparing and conditioning for the upcoming season. Now that we are only a month away we like to switch it up and train like we hunt. Take the time to set up a spread and blind, get some buddies out there, blow duck calls, and talk in the blind as if a group is working. Oh, and don't forget to take multiple shots at birds being thrown...we all know you don't hit them all on the first shot! #gundog #training #dogtraining #labradorretriever #duckdog #retrievertraining #fueledbyeukanuba #alphadognutrition

Getting your dog comfortable being up on the training table and walking the length of it before you begin the force fetch process is key. #forcefetch . . . . . . . . #trainedretrieve #dogtraining101 #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining #retriever #retrievertrainer #labradorretriever #puppy #puppytrainingclass

Live bird exposure is a huge part of a puppy's development. Any flushing dog worth his salt has been selected from a bloodline proven to have a strong prey drive. Birds turn on something in the genetics of a flushing dog that no other stimulus can and it is remarkable to me how many trainers skimp on live birds and try to get away with a minimum of live-bird exposures. . This is a recent clip of Nala working a pigeon, and a very encouraging one at that. Seeing her take off right away as the pigeon escapes and bringing it directly back is what we want to see. Everyday her prey and retrieve drive get turned on more and more! #puppy #labradorpuppy #nalagirl #redcedarpup #dogtrahuntingops . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #gobumpercrazy #dogphotography #mansbestfriend #sportingdog #dogtraining #mygundog #retrievertraining #retriever #labradorretriever #dogsthathunt #labsofinstagram #labtraining #gundog #duckdog #birddog #huntingdog #workingdog #waterfowl #upland #labsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #mansbestfriend #unspokenbond #labs #duckhunting

Meet our crew!

We got an update from 2 of our Gracie X Finn Pups that went home just 2 weeks ago! Check out these 10 week old pups killing it in the water already! This is exactly why we put so much time and thought into our pairings. To make sure we can put out the best pups possible. . By the way, this is the perfect process in a shallow water environment to introduce your puppy to water. Get them excited about retrieving and nothing will stand in their way! #gobumpercrazy #redcedarpup #puppies #labpuppy #siblings . . . . . . . . . . #dogphotography #mansbestfriend #sportingdog #dogtraining #mygundog #retrievertraining #retriever #labradorretriever #dogsthathunt #labsofinstagram #labtraining #gundog #duckdog #birddog #huntingdog #workingdog #waterfowl #upland #labsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #mansbestfriend #unspokenbond #labs #duckhunting
