This is a question for you guys who are more experienced with trained hunting dogs...
I have a new black lab pup. She is about 5 months old now. She seems to be coming along well with what little training I give her. Sit, stay, fetch, and boundry limitations. However, I want her to be a good hunting dog that will retreive birds, etc. Don't exactly know how to get there.
Don't have the money to spend on expensive training schools, so I guess I'll try to do it myself. Suggestions on books, dvd's, or anything out there that will train me to be a better trainer for her would be appreciated.
The only problems we have with her at this point is basic puppy stuff such as chewing up everything she can get a hold of and jumping on people for play. I need to break her of these habits now before it's too late. Other than that, just need suggestions from a group of people on training guides I can use.
