Due to the untimely death of my faithful Rottwieler friend "Bullet," Sloppy puchased a new Chessie (she is a bitch named Cocoa) to assist in waterfowling. Anyone know of a good training program to teach her to retrieve waterfowl? Cabela's had so many I didn't know which to pick! HELP!

If Sloppy got a good bloodline it will come natural for a retriever.Start out as just having fun with her.Let here know she is doing good.The Chessie is a workhorse and quite bullhead to say the least.Very dedicated dog.  |

Sloppy thought i would add this, They work good as a bird dog too,Pheasant hunted mine and a friends chessy's ever year.My buddy was big into field trials with his chessy's and they did well.Abby on the tailgate is a Certif. Master Hunter. This is Cammeo Cameal with two rooster she got me on  |

My dog is supposed to be from a "Champion" bloodline. Do you think any of those "Dokken Dead Waterfowl" training aids would help? Here she is at 8 weeks:  |

No no special training,all done at home working with the dog for an hour or so ever night,I would lay my gun on the floor and let her get use it b-4 i ever shot it around her.My brother just started shooting a 243 around his and i turned gun shy from the git go.And took two weeks to break her of it.
I used a dumby launcher,and my buddy built a mechanical launcher with a remote.that thing would send the dummies 150 yds out.Made it nice for double and triple marks.
