This site is dedicated to my current Yellow Lab "HOMER"
Sunrise in the blind. Nothing is more enjoyable than sharing it with your friends and a well trained Retriever. This blog is a journal of how I trained my first gun dog "Homer". I am in no way a professional trainer, but in less than a year, using only 4 DVD's , I trained Homer. Homer will do blind retrieves well over 150 yards away and he's just over 1 year old. Training him has built an inseparable bond between us. Homer is strictly a hunting retriever we do not compete in field trials. Training your own dog is a ton of fun, you will save thousands of dollars, and the bond created is 100 times better than sending him to a "PRO". Below is a picture of me and Homer with his first Mallard. I hope this site will help you decide to train your own gun dog.
