I'm new to duck hunting! I started 2 season ago and have been getting all my ducks with a pirogue! I recently came across a man and lady across town wanting to give away a started female aka choc lab! So I picked her up last week! She's a great friendly dog and very good around my son! She def has some training! She fetches to hand land or water! I'm wanting to get her finished and I'm looking for somebody close to home so I can swing by and work with her while she's there! Just seeing if y'all no of anybody good to bring her too! Looking for best bang for the buck!

How old is she?

Ever thought about training her yourself?

Bill Autrey is the best in Louisanna. Autrey kennels. Look him up. Great guy.

Autrey kennels. Look him up. Great guy.

But he is 3 hours away from Denham Springs

Defintely NOT saying Bill isn't worth it, just saying.


Clost to home for him>
Jay Dufour in Pine Grove &/or Chuck McCall in Amite.

Both are also members here on RTF > Chuck / Jay send them a PM.

She was born dec 19th 2011! She's very smart! I throught bout training her! I can show her something a few times and she remembers! She is very energetic and can't sit still! I found out this past week she's ok with boat rides! But when I was fishing she would jump out of boat after lures! Finally broke her of that after few trips! If I decided to train her is there any great videos that you would say where the best?

Bill Autrey is the best in Louisanna. Autrey kennels. Look him up. Great guy.

OP wants someone close to his town of Denhim Springs, where is Bill located in relation to that La town? Agree Bill is a great guy but best in Louisiana is subjective at best.
Chuck McCall would be best choice for OP given location and ability.

 

[GulfCoast]

Chuck McCall/Jason Moore would be the closest to the OP, and do a very nice job. Jay Dufour might be pretty close, too.

She was born dec 19th 2011!

If I decided to train her is there any great videos that you would say where the best?

So she's 8,035,200 seconds old! or right at 3 months 2 days
(Just shy of my pups age)

Training DVD's? - Lots to choose from.

There are puppy programs out there for how to introduce your pup to things before it's time for formal training and what not to do etc.

In your case the Fowl Dawgs Series(Complete Program) would provide you a very worthy +Duck Dog. Total Package price = $60
However it'd also mean you'd have to purchase an E-Collar ($150 to $400)

There is MUCH debate on Training Videos & E-collars. I'd definitely talk to the names mentioned here and see what they say, determine what you can afford and go from there.

I've never had a Trainer, to include a name or two above, turn a phone call or e-mail down. Just a fair warning, most might keep you on the phone longer than you intended. Their love and compassion for the dogs and their training will likely surpass your own

My bad she was born dec 19th 2010! She 1 yr and 3 months old! Lol

Oh! Well that does change the idea of training altogether.

I'd call the Trainers above and be sure to mention the dogs age when asking about training.

I second Chuck. He is close enough for you to work with dog/handler team. Very fine fella to deal with also.

Chuck is a good one in that area...also very close to you is Steve Riggins (Bear Creek on the Bayou Retrievers) http://www.bearcreekonthebayou.com/

 

[Karen Klotthor]

Chuck Mccall /Jason Moore are very close to you. They do a very nice job of training. I have judged both of them a lot. Chuck's Kennel name is Chumac Kennels. He will also work with you to teach you.. THere are several good trainers in Louisiana and So. Miss, but Chuck is the closes to you.

 

[CLindsay]

Call Chuck and Jason. Great team. PM me if you need his number. He has my female.

Thanks Curtiss
