tote 843 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 can anyone list the thing i need to do to train a puppy lab to retrieve rabbits nad birds and stay still when iam shooting thanks dan Get a book by a well known gundog trainer and have a good read through it, I'd recommend anything written by Joe Irving especially "Gundogs their learning chain" and "Training spaniels".

rickyspringer 15 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 you need to work o obedience mate, sit, stay, retrieving should come naturally, buy a dummy and practice with that, then gradual introduce game, cold,warm & finally just shot. Its all about obedience everything else should come pretty naturally, work on steadiness exercises alot also... good luck and them book recommedations are spot on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
