Training Program

Post by Tiogamountainman » Sun Sep 23, 2012 10:36 pm

Hello Everyone
This would be my first post on this form I have been watching for some time now just thought I would take the opertunity to jump in and ask some questions about what training program I should use. I am getting a chocolate lab the first week in Oct. and I want to train her for hunting doves, ducks, geese and pheasant. This being my first dog to train for hunting I want to do it correctly so any advice on traing programs would be great. I am looking at Mike Lardy's "TRT" and Evan' Graham's "Smartwork's". which one of these would be better for a first time trainer like myself? In other words which one breaks stuff down "barney style" if will, and is easier to follow? Thank you In advance for your input

I believe Evan's is more user friendly....slightly more detail and better diagrams.....plus, you have Evan as a source right here!!!

Thanks for the intro! It's called the Smartwork system.

Get the Smartwork Series (both the books and DVDs).
Nothing short of spectacular.
