Yes, but you should make time for him just like you make time for your family. It's really a win win for both of you. You get to know each other better and that trust grows. Wish I could've helped though. Unfortunately don't know any certified trainers. Whatever you do, Don't pay for classes at petsmart.

First 6-8 months you need to give the dog obedience training and fun retrieves.
One of the top training tips I like is to have your dog wait before you command it to do anything. Ie wait to eat, wait to enter inside or outside. It's crucial for the blind, bc a dog that goes before it's told won't eye the downed bird correctly. Also, getting it really good at the heal command on both sides is good.
Once he or she is about 8 months do yourself a favor and get it professionally forced fetched. Then make a decision on what you want to do next (train yourself or professionally). But, no matter what, FF will make it a whole lot easier to train and listen period.
