Thanks for the compliment he is very special to me! Congratulations on getting your new pup! As far as information to study and learn on there is alot out there. I purchased and read/watched everything I could get my hands on when I started learning myself. I think with boykins Bill Hillman has some good theories that I have used on alot of my program but have put alot of things together. Blaine Tarnecki has a new program out that is based on boykins that I would recommend. As far as gear goes keep in mind that dogs cant see orange. One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is trying to get specifically young dogs to retrieve orange bumpers. Orange is used for blind retrieves in training make sure to get a white bumper to start your training with. Feel free to reach out with any questions during your journey!
Pretty awesome. A bit late, but congrats
Chief is a boss! I’m getting a Boykin in February, any recommendations on training books/gear?
