Planning on sending him to school once he gets old enough but wanted to be working with him now. He is a lab and the plans is to have a finished gun dog one day just want to make sure I start him outright and give him the best chance possible. Last edited by Livintohunt19; 09/17/23 11:06 AM.

There are much better programs out there now. They will progress faster and are more reliable. The e-collar changed the game. My days of running out to correct a dog are over!!!!
