There are a few over your way that would love to take your money and train the dog. My best advice is to read all you can and watch DVD's and train the dog yourself to the best of your abilities. You and the dog will bond and you will be forever grateful for the time spent training. Don't tell me you don't have time either. You make time, you get your kids/family involved. Take 15 minutes a day and dedicate it to your dog and he will become something you thought you could never have.

Joe and Tina Perron in Bentley, LA. Look them up at
championretrievers.com. They are great people and excellent dog people. A bit pricey but worth it. Mr. Bill Autrey is also an excellent trainer but I think his cancer has come back.

Read this. If you have time to own a dog you have time to train it, and he will respond better to you in the field.

British or American?
It is VERY important to know the difference.
Brits have been selectively bred to deliver to hand for 100's of years. You should not have to force fetch a Brit. You are replacing genetic traits with training which is always inferior. You can easily ruin a dog by force fetching him. A professional trainer can easily ruin a dog by force fetching him. Trust me, I have first hand experience with this.
Most pups, even American are born with an instinct to deliver to hand. This trait is often "trained" out of them by letting them drop dummies during the very early "play" training period. Then, after a year or so, they have to be re-trained to deliver (FF).
