Here is a short list of Training Sites

Here is a link to Mike Lardy’s training articles from his site.  Mike has an unbeatable record of success in field trials and these training articles along with his other products from DVD’s to the re-prints of his series first published in the Retriever Journal, allow trainers at any level to deepen their knowledge or advance beyond their current level.

This is the link to Even Graham’s web site, from here you can view all of his material. Evan is suited for those who are taking their first steps into retriever sports.

As an extension of Evan Graham’s program, this link connects you with his youtube video training library.  Read the articles from Mike Lardy and Evan, then watch TV to see it in practice.

This is Robert Milner’s web site; he approaches retriever work from the no e-collar perspective as one would find prevalent amongst British field trainers.  I recommend this site not just for those who would not consider using an electronic training collar but for any trainer who wish to broaden their perspectives and wish to find ideas to compliment their chosen training program.

If you now have or are anticipating a puppy then Bill Hillman is a phenomenal trainer to study.  Bill trains puppies in a manner which blends(IMHO) the best methods of North American e-collar trainers and the British training style.  His credentials speak for themselves; Bill has had more Dogs top the US Derby list than anyone in the history of Field Trials, what Bill says, goes!  His approach to steadying and the training of doubles differs substantially from conventional FT practice....but his Derby record demands that his methods be studied.
