Doing singles when you get home will help, just because she can do doubles and go on the word back doesn’t mean we need to do those right away. Start small and work up with her! You’ll be able to judge !
Where Birdy should be when she’s at heel , how to move to her and help her when she needs it until you guys are use to her and she is use to her
When you get Birdy home, watch these videos. How to start her and where to start when she gets home. Start with the leash and then move to just the collar.

In this video we have Steel off leash some. His overall response to me is getting better every day. You’ll notice he sits faster, when he should, and is off leash but we still have a short leash on him to use when need be.
A little trouble sitting but that’s okay. We were in farm and fleet for about 45 minutes. We people watched and worked on heeling and sitting the whole time. Very proud of Steel!
So everything is new for Steel here. He does pretty good for the most part but distractions make listening difficult ( not just for Steel but every dog ) Carts being pushed around, the intercom going off, the hustle and bustle of people, other dogs, the list goes on. I didn’t let anyone pet steel… Continue
Steel going to farm and fleet for some training and then a picture of him tired on the way home! Lol
No Leash! Steel is completely loose and free! You’ll notice even with his big surroundings he still wants to be next to me, and is trotting over to me when I say “come” now- great job buddy!
Started Lab Birdy
Not much here just talking about how we’ve practiced and little things like taking the collars on and off, and how he has developed patience and being okay with have my hands on him!
In this video I talk about the importance of how the e collar is used, the different levels of it , and how we can expect Steel to respond to it. And what our goals are.
Walking and explaining Steels progress
So the concept here is that when I say “come” he gets a very light nick on the collar and that is the same thing or even less pressure than jerking the leash- he will learn that when he’s told to come that he should, and will. The collar is the bad guy and we… Continue
Steel in the process of learning that when he’s told to come, it’s not an option. So Using the collar and leash to get him to come to us!
Talking about the importance of having Steel be 110% on the same page us before we start moving to off leash
Yuma doing a great job at her upland work- makes it look easy!
Yuma is making a great started upland dog. She knows how to use her nose, quarters naturally, great with the gun, marks well, retrieves, and delivers to hand! She has a great nose and a steady, busy motor! We couldn’t ask for anymore
So this antler was laying next to the trail, Yuma smelled it and nosed it but didn’t pick it up, it must have fallen off quite awhile ago and didn’t have a lot of natural scent on it- I picked it up and tossed it for her and then she went and used her nose… Continue
Watch Yumas head pop once she runs past this shed and gets the wind right, her head pops and she goes right to it. Shed hunting will come easy for her.
Biggest shed Yuma has ever seen! Going to make a great started shed dog!
Here’s a few photos of Yuma in action- she is a great starter retriever doing upland hunting and shed hunting
After this day the owners came and picked babe up- we ran marks out of the launcher and both shot our guns. He brought his 10 gauge and ran Babe.
Day before Babe goes home! We talk about the importance of working with her 4-6 times a week and how she has been thru out her process!
