Call me, and drive 1 hr west. I have the best property in SW Louisiana to train on and don't mind helping anyone out.
They still have one but you need to watchout for the local drug deals witch happen offen.When I lived in Lafayette, Moore Park, just north of I-10, had a couple of small designated training ponds. Wasn't yesterday, so I don't know if that's still the case.
Ha! You better get off your azz and come fish with me this year, always threaten but never pull the trigger. Even Bobby trained with me last weekend and had a good time.Be careful, Raymond might be looking to feed his pet gators!
Google Satin Belle Hunting Retrievers or PM me for his cell.I wasn't very into training when I lived in Lafayette, but, man, there are a BUNCH of guys in this part of the state. I met Ed Thibodeaux yesterday and he was a really great guy. I bet if you call him and offer to throw birds, he'd let you train with him. I guess you can google him, or do a search on this site.
