I rescued a 1 1/2 yr old lab recently mainly for family pet and sons first dog. I would like for him to learn to pick up ducks. My hunting generally consist of shooting woodies in the creek behind my house a few times a year. I looked into sending him to a trainer but don't think I can swing the cost. Not that I don't think it's not worth it. Wondering if it's feasible to train him myself considering the limited hunting I do. I don't expect to have a superior dog by any means but capable of doing the task I need. He listens really well and seems to have a soft mouth. He is already fetching well but am working on him staying put until I send him. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
