[gottsy boy]

Hi all

i Know this question has prob already been asked but i can't find it on the site>

 

I've got a lab pup 3 months old i'll be taking her to gun dog school when she is six months old,

 

do i need to start doing anything now? she will sit on command and stay somtimes, i havent taught her that she just picked it up.

 

any lab training advise will be much appreciated.

Up to the first 8 weeks - 9 months depending on the dog I just get the dog used to its name, then recall using name & whistle, then just whistle, 1-2 retrieves a day with a old sock to start gradually introduce a puppy dummy. Introduce the lead & sit, once the dog understands the sit command I introduce the stop - sit whistle.

 

I don't get my dogs to stay at a young age as it sometimes takes the drive out of a young pup, unless your training a peg dog.

 

make everything a game for your pup, enjoy & bond with her.

 

hope this is of some help.
