Retriever Puppy Training
« on: April 05, 2018, 12:00:59 PM »
I am documenting most of this pups training from day one forward in the hopes that it is informative and help others. 

There are 90 videos now available for free on Vimeo.  I try to post 2-3 new ones daily largely unedited and now a weekly highlights recap. Hopefully, some may find it useful. 

I would appreciate criticisms and feedback in the hopes of improving the content to make it's as useful and viewer friendly as possible.  Thank you and for your consideration,

I'm so glad you're doing this!

I mentioned this to my labs trainer 2 years ago but no such luck. I even offered to film/edit but he was worried about online backlash of pressure training.

Keep it up!

That's the plan to keep it up and hopefully expand.  Thank you for your support.   :tup:

Nice puppy Gary.

This is so great. I've been watching your 101 videos and bookmarking each one in a bookmark folder I'm calling "Bird Dog Puppy Training"

My family and I are in line for our first bird dog (a WPG) and I'm just looking for any kind of training videos possible to learn step-by-step.

People like me are looking for great tips, hints, suggestions for a wide variety of topics like:
  - when to train and how often each day
   - what types of products to use
   - how to train pups to socialize
   - how to train kenneling up
   - etc.

Have you ever trained or know of someone who's trained a WPG? I'd love a thorough video series on that!

Right on about getting your WPG. 

I have trained a number and some good ones but had some that were soft and not had much bird drive.  So I can suggest you look at pedigree and temperament carefully.  I have had much better luck in the quality of dogs I have got that were a very similar breed German Wire Hair Pointers. 

I am working on making some more specific compilation video for the topics which you suggest, they are spot on and good training concerns and important issues. 

A lot of what I train with the retrievers is the same as for pointers except more live bird and contacts.  I think I am getting a Springer in soon and hope to document its training as well.
