New Lab Puppy:)

RILEY JANE BROCKMANN<3




We've had Riley for about 3 weeks now. She's almost 12 weeks old and she's a doll. We rescued her from a guy that specializes in rescueing hunting/sporting dogs. When we went to go pick her up there were about 17 other lab puppies with her, all puppies that people had gotten sick of and not wanted. She's going to be the first dog we start training and hopefully becomes a hunter. She starts puppy classes on April 15th.

A good lookin pup you have there. A DVD you might want to look at is by Wildrose Kennels. This guy is awesome. He goes though the whole precess step by step from a pup to a finished dog.

There are four basic commands you need to focus on. They are sit, stay, come, and heel. Start with these 4 commands and you will be on your way to a finished gun dog. 50 % of your training will be focused on obedience training.

Wildrose has a lead that will help them sit almost instantly. Its called a Mendota Dog Walker. I have one and they do exactly what they say they will do with very little pressure.

Wildrose also offers clinics that you can attend. I am going to attend several during the next few months since he is not to far from my house. He is out of Oxford, MS.

I do not know if you have ever heard of Drake the DU Dog. But Drake is a Wildrose dog.

Here is another good book that you need to read and get started doing as soon as possible. This is very important for a working dog so the quicker you get started the better off the pup and you will be when getting into formal training. I can not stress enough how important this part of Riley's training is.

Find you some live pigeons if you can and keep them for training. Its good to introduce Riley to a harnessed live bird soon.

Here is a link so that you can buy bird wings. Tape the bird wings to a bumper and you will have a live bird scenario during training, These work great when you are not using live birds.

When introducing Riley to a live bird, you want to look for eagerness and intensity from Riley. You want him to be a little bit nutty when it come to the bird. This is a good sign. At first they are going to be a little timid since the bird is new to them. So don't worry if Riley does not get excited right at first.

Riley is a cutie!! Great to hear you choose to adopt. Keep us updated with Riley's training. I adopted my Lab pup Mojo from a rescue on Feb.1st when he was 10 weeks old. I am currently training him to be an antler dog. Pike
