Solid Retriever Training Turns Labs into Gun Dogs and Duck Dogs
Labradors are one of the best-loved dog breeds in the country.
According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), 2004 marked the
fifteenth consecutive year that Labradors ranked as the number
one purebred dog in the nation. The AKC also reported that
Labradors ranked first in Great Britain, where three times as
many Labradors are registered as is any other breed.
According to the AKC, the Labrador origins are in early
nineteenth-century Newfoundland, when Newfoundlands were bred
with smaller water dogs. The dogs eventually disappeared from
Newfoundland, but, having been imported to England, established
themselves as a recognized breed at the turn of the twentieth
century by the English Kennel Club.
Labradors are considered sporting dogs, and the color of
purebreds is either black, yellow, or chocolate. The dog's
temperament makes it an excellent family pet, but Labradors are
often used as guide dogs and rescue dogs. Their true
predilection, however, lies in their talent as gun dogs and duck
dogs. With the proper hunt test training and retriever training,
Labradors can effectively hunt game and waterfowl in a variety
of conditions.
In order to perfect a Labrador's hunting skills, an owner often
kennels the puppy with a special trainer who introduces the
Labrador to water and birds. This basic retriever training
teaches puppies to enjoy retrieving game.
Once the puppy has mastered basic
retriever training, or for
older Labradors, an owner may decide to take the started dog for
AKC hunt test training, or to have it trained to become a better
hunt dog or duck dog. When looking for a facility that offers
advanced retriever training, it's important to look for clean
kennels, acreage that includes a variety of terrain and bodies
of water, and trainers who are experienced in retriever
training. A retriever training program that meets each dog's
individual needs is ideal, and Labrador owners should be sure to
ask former customers about their experience with the retriever
training program.
A good kennel will offer basic retriever training programs that
focus on obedience and a transition program that utilizes
pattern blinds, cold blinds, water blinds, and blind drills. An
advanced program should include individualized techniques to
perfect the gun dogs' or duck dogs' skills. The most important
element of a good retriever training program, though, is the
trainer's love of Labradors and his commitment to training a
well-adjusted, skilled dog.
