Recently got a lab and woundered what is best to teach them. Retrieval is in his blood already and is not affected by gun noise. This is the most loyal dog i have had......only 7months old. :)

Just start with the basic obedience. Here, stay, sit, heel.......
Got any pics......I love seeing lab pictures. :)

You can get the retriever training by tri tronics, great book. It walks you step by step. Gun dog is a good book as well, you just can't pay attention to the "time lines" because, every dog is different. It also helps to join the retriever clubs in your area or a training group. Lots of people out there with dog advice :-)
