Do you hunt?So I just started helping my friend train his labrador puppy. I have a lot of experience with my german shepherd, schutzhund/tracking/obedience, and dog training in general, but hunting is a whole new ball game for me. I'm trying to start a dog training business and I'm doing free training for my friend and he's going to refer people to me. I'd love to learn more about different fields of dog training. I'm starting with basic obedience and puppy stuff of course (his puppy is about 14 weeks old) such as housetraining, socialization, sit, stay, down, come, drop it, etc., but I'm looking for some reading material or other things to research about training a lab to go duck hunting and maybe even compete in AKC hunting trials. I've done some research, and so far it looks like the most important things I'm going to have to teach the puppy is a really solid stay, stay out of motion, retrieve, drop it, heel, and come. I love Leerburgs training methods if anyone knows who that is on this forum. Any advice on where to start learning more about all of this?
