Anyone ever trained their hunting/bird dog themselves and if so how did it go? I got a black lab in January and have begun training him myself and it’s going well for him only being 5 months. Introduced him to water this week and he went crazy for it. Gotta start introductions guns here soon. Side bar we had our daughter name him and gave her the options of Raider, Maverick, Ranger and Cosmo Kramer and to our surprise she chose Cosmo. She’s 3 by the way.
