I am getting a female lab in March with a proven bloodline. This will be the first dog I have trained. My goals are to have a family companion first and a friend who can go with me to the dove field, duck swamp and even out west to hunt pheasants and upland birds. I have been looking at all the various books, DVDs recommended online but wanted to come here from recommendations. I do not have any illusions that this will be an easy endeavor that is accomplished in a few weeks. I work from home and will have a lot of time to dedicate to basic obedience training first and then progressing from there. As this will be a family dog I do not want to send her off for months. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
