The trainer he's at now told us he's not sure what dog the first trainer was looking at because drive is not an issue with this dog.


That's why I could never turn my dog over to a trainer. I am too picky in what I want my dogs to do or trust completely what they are telling me (pros or cons). Plus, I know that I am the one working my dog and not some assistant or hired help.

Plus, they are so damn expensive now. I ran the math before I decided to get my current YLF and was like screw that. I would have just got a Started dog for that kind of $$$$ and then I would have seen a finished product before buying. The only reason I didn't go that direction is that I am about to breed my dog with a stud YLM and keep hopefully get a liter of for sure workhorse Labs.

I understand completely. I'm just getting into duck hunting and don't know jack about training one. I'm reading everything I can get my hands one. I realize I've spent a butt load on my dog but honestly, if it weren't for the first trainer, it wouldn't have been so bad. If I ever do it again, I'll take a crack at it though.
