Anybody have a dog trained already? Seems like they could bring the dog out for a charge....I may be interested.

8 months in training my first “working/house” dog so take all of the following with a grain of salt. My main focus is retrieving and then flushing birds but the largest influence in my training style is a guy who specializes in shed dogs.
Short answer:
https://www.dogbonehunter.com and his YouTube channel
Long answer:
1st write down everything you want from your dog. obedience (sit, stay, off, place, recall, heel...)
Mannerisms (potty trained, not begging for food, furniture rules, chewing rules, behavior around kids other dogs and strangers...)
Basic skills (retrieval, soft mouth, steadiness, hunt...)
Advanced skills (handling, honoring,...)
You’ll end up adding to this as you go and learn more most likely.
Next read a book on training cover to cover any book is fine just get a good idea of the time and flow of training. Start watching YouTube videos of professional training to understand how to act around a dog and read a dog. (I was far and away mistaken on this part. Dogs pick up on very subtle changes and you rarely need to be “hard” on a dog especially a young pup. Save that for life saving corrections if they ever arise)
I wish I would have done all of this before I picked out a dog. Thankfully I got super lucky and had a recommendation that worked out such that I ended up with a stud of a dog and I had some help in how to start my training off. The last step and probably the most crucial in reaching all of your written goals is to set aside 30min to an hour every single day for training.
I used/am using dokkens retriever training book and the dogbonehunter YouTube channel. I opted to positive reinforcement style of training vs shock collars.
Last thing is to put in the work and be patient, I constantly have to remind myself that she is always learning and I’ve taught this little pup everything she knows so ultimately I am responsible for her mistakes.

[quote=Dale Moser;15457758]Really? I’ll just assume that was a question, since it’s got as much punctuation as it does tact.
Dogs, that are trained to use their noses to find and retrieve shed antlers.
If you’re gonna be a smart ***, try not to be such a dumb ***.
