Get "Water Dog" and be done with it. I trained two and starting another for my uncle next week. Book is all a good hunter needs.
Saw you with it last night, good looking dog. Congrats on that price we just paid a small fortune for our newest project, lol

I'm trying but the two dogs I have are difficult. the feller who gave me a "great deal" on the AKC American Water Spaniel was not exactly telling the entire truth. And the black lab mix I rescued is a pleaser for sure but she has ZERO natural retreival instinct.
FWIW water dog assumes you have the dog from a young pup on. Both of mine were 15 months when I got them and both have significant bad training ingrained now. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

If you aren't looking to compete I would suggest anything that teaches positive reinforcement. Wildrose has an extremely good program and a good book on Amazon.
My girl is pure british, but when I got her 11 years ago I didn't know the differences and sent her to a trainer who tried to force fetch her. She shutdown, wouldn't respond to any command and lived with her tail between her legs for a year. I will never subject one of my dogs to force fetching or shock collars for any reason afte rthat experience. It broke my heart what it did to her.
I later found out why she reacted like that, it was her bloodline. British dogs are just calmer, more sensitive pups.
