re: Dropping 6 month old future duck dog off at the trainer today

I have a female black lab. Before she went to training, she was spoiled and slept on a dog bed in my bedroom. She's been for training twice. Once for 4 mos, then she hunted a season followed by another 3mos of training for finishing. She mostly stays inside, goes out in the yard, when she wants, still sleeps on her bed in my room and is spoiled rotten. But, when we get to the blind, she has a rocket up her arse and wants to do one thing...retrieve. In fact, when we're done and we get out of the blind and start picking up decoys, she'll lay by the blind and whine, because she doesn't want the hunt to end.
My family missed our dog, when she was gone. But, it sure was nice having a trained, obedient dog, when she returned. Good luck!
