First, if he decides to train via Smartwork he would be well advised to include our first book, Smartwork for Retrievers volume one, which has an extensive glossary of terms to help the new trainer to learn the vocabulary of retriever training. Picking a package that includes this book will also save him 15% on all materials included in the package.

The situation exists as it does because he's clearly not following a credible program. Hence the suggestion to get one!

Smart people. But I obviously agree that when most of us start out we don't know better. Once you do know better, doesn't it obligate you to act in the best interests of your dog?

So which smart work package do you suggest for this situation ?

With two 5 month old Lab pups at minimum the Bonus Basics Pack, plus the first book; Smartwork volume one. That will thoroughly cover his next full year's training, and give them both a foundation for a lifetime.

On the contrary it oblagtes me to act in the best interest of the boy.
God forbid when hunters start raising the rights and concerns of animals over people, for when we do that we have just joined PETA and our hunting and the dogs hunting is over.
