Mike Lardy DVD

[fratelle]

Hi all,
I am thinking of purchasing the Mike Lardy DVD “e-collar conditioning” and the “retrieving DVD”. I am from Australia and am taking the advice from this forum as I have no knowledge of this guy but he seems like one of the best. I have done basic obedience and have purchased an e collar last week but do not want to start using it until I train myself first. Buddy my 14 mth old GSP has progressed thru the “Perfect Start” series well but I needed the e collar for “Perfect Finish” but as you know these DVD's have little retriever training (the pointing information is awesome) and I use my GSP for Ducks as well. I have not been disappointed with any recommendations from this forum so far so thank you all in advance.

Fratelle, Iv'e only seen bits and pieces of Lardys dvds but what I have seen is preety good stuff. He is one of the best retriever trainers in the nation I cannot imagine the other dvds being good, I would go for it.

JMO,
Chip

There is no doubt that Mike Lardy is one of the most accomplished retriever trainers there is. That said, I found Evan Grahams "Smart Fetch" series easier to follow.

It's my understanding that Lardy is offering a new, updated Total Retriever Training DVD and manual package, and if I took a fit to join the US retriever training mainstream, that would be my choice. (What I've seen of Graham's "Smartworks" stuff puts me to sleep.)
