Most people in retriever circles look down on Water Dog and think it’s outdated. If you are starting with a puppy and don’t have much experience would recommend you find a puppy dvd like Smart Beginnings and then switch over and folllow step by step with a proven training program such as Mike Lardy, Evan Graham, or I used Rick Stawski’s Fowl Dawg DVD’s. For $40 or so you can buy Fowl Dawgs 1 & 2 and that will keep you busy for a long time and give you a solid dog if you follow it to the tee.

If you’re going to use a shock collar there is a good tritronics one that I used about 18 years ago

I'm biased though, that's my dog's pops on the cover.....

Wolters' books were the best at helping think from the dogs point of view. How to ignite and grow their best instincts. Invaluable knowledge for newbies.
If you dog progresses or if you train a second dog, you will already have Wolters' principles engrained into YOUR behavior.....you can then get more advanced books that help address problems, etc.
My yellow lab is an advanced upland game (pheasants & chukkar) pointer and retriever. The foundation of my interaction with dogs comes from Wolters' books.
