Yard work with Rua 🐾 We work on this every time Rua eats but it’s time to start implementing these skills outside of just dinner time. Rua is also beginning to learn the contrast between correction and praise now that we’ve had time to get to know each other. This particular exercise requires my focus in reading his body language so I can make timely and adequate corrections. I also have to be fair in my expectations for how far I can get from Rua, how long I leave him stationary, and the amount of distractions in our setting. I also find it very beneficial at this point to come back to the dog rather than recalling them off sit until they fully understand “sit”. I may only get 10ft from him for 15 seconds for now but soon I’ll be able to get 50ft away and turn my back on him for a few minutes. And eventually I’ll be able to tell him to sit in the yard while I go in the house to grab my coffee before coming back to find him right where I left him. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

More Front Yard Fun with Tillie 🦆 We’re still working on her aversion to 🔫’s but I think we’re making great progress. Fixing this problem is never impossible but it does take time, patience, and encouragement. For instance - it’s been a primary focus on our training with Tillie for almost two months and she still has a ways to go. She’s also unsure about me setting this place stand on Mack and Merle’s tinkle tree 😂 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Rua has been formalizing heel on lead for a few days. He’s a natural heeling dog anyway but now we’re making it a skill that we can use 💪 I still can’t get over how handsome of a dog Rua is. His personality is also one that fits perfectly with our family first lifestyle. He’s such a pleasant and respectful dog. I also believe he will make a very nice working dog in the field 🔥 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

We’re starting to take some skills Raven has learned at feeding time and implement them in retrieving scenarios. This girl is so fun… She loves to retrieve but aims to please even more right now. I can’t wait to see her bold personality welcome a fiery prey drive as she matures 🔥 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Our Slip Collar and Grip Lead are the most used tools in my training bag 🐾 Features: 🐾Strap * Crafted from a ½” wide BioThane® strap — lightweight for precision corrections and comfort. * The slimmer width focuses correction pressure more effectively than wider straps (¾”–1”). 🐾Hardware * Fitted with ¾” black hardware rings, offering a generous target area for attaching any snap hook or lead. * Durable yet lightweight — functional without unnecessary bulk. 🐾Stopper * The adjustable stopper allows for a perfect fit, ensuring optimal control and responsiveness. 🐾Built-In Training Tab * Designed with a training tab extension from the stopper to the end ring. * Provides room for 3–6 inches of Tab to hold securely when steadying your dog or refining heel position. * This design keeps the tab short and streamlined, reducing the chance of it swinging near the dog’s face while running or training. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

We’re training Raven on “place” but we are also strengthening her self control and ability to utilize an off-switch. Today was an ultimate test as the No Nap Nancy’s were literally bouncing off the walls 😂 I wouldn’t just throw a young pup into this scenario unless they were ready for it. The last thing I want to do is put a pup in a situation to be constantly corrected and nagged into obeying. We’ve spent many hours building her ability to be given a single place command and execute flawlessly in this distracting scenario for an hour… #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Puppy stuff with Raven 🦹🏿‍♀️ These skills are very easy to establish at this age and will make our transition to formal field training so much easier in a few months. Not to mention how much more pleasant it makes our day to day lives now. Raven is still very much a puppy and gets to indulge those puppy tendencies to explore her boldness and learn independently. But we are still very intentional with the habits she creates. She’s such a fun and happy pup 🐾 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Sadie Mae is a young dog that has been with us for a few weeks. She is a sweetheart and has tons of potential as a retriever. Sadie is starting to figure out this retrieving game and learning what it means to work as a team. Her delivery has been a primary focus as she tends to drop well before approach. Today was the first day she showed some understanding and desire to deliver to hand. As she is still very young, I’m not going to pressure her too much at this point. She’ll let me know when she’s ready to press forward. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Quality > Quantity With my puppies, I’ll only do 2-3 retrieves, 2-3 times a week. It’s just enough to maintain the excitement and drive to pick and retrieve. It also gives us less opportunities to develop undesirable behaviors with retrieving. Until this session, Raven hadn’t retrieved in about 2 weeks. We retrieved 2 marks and one short unknown. And we’ll do it again in a few days. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Tillie was a gunshy dog when she came to us. She was recently exposed to the launcher from a distance and we’ve seen positive improvement toward the shots. Today, I had a friend fire primers from a shotgun at a distance while the dummies flew to expose her to being around a shotgun again. The objective is to subtly associate the gunfire with a falling dummy, something she loves… Tillie never thought about breaking until this retrieve. I gave a minor correction but stopped myself. I could have emphasized a correction and called her back after she ran in but that sort of correction wasn’t going to help our primary goal for the day. Today was about positive association with gunfire. So I just held her training tab for the next several retrieves to keep her from committing to breaking. The tail wag before she broke was something I didn’t notice until cutting this clip. That tail wag was a major accomplishment in positively associating gunfire with Tillie. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

A slip collar or slip lead is used to apply momentary pressure to a dog as a method of correction or marking a behavior with a negative effect. Knowing how to use a slip collar with your dog is very important and the first step is to know how to properly place a slip collar on your dog. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Tilly is learning to be a team player This is a simple scenario that I like to set up for honoring sessions. The steadier dog gets to retrieve the mark or we just alternate retrieves on the mark. The 2nd dog gets to retrieve away from the suction of the fall area of the marks on a pile in a different direction. This is also a great set up for a single dog training session 👍 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Puppy Stuff 🐾 Raven is learning some lifelong skills and building the great character by doing this training twice a day.

Tillie on her first day retrieving launcher dummies like a seasoned dog 💪 Tillie was one of our pups from last summer out of Hope and Mack. She is most definitely just like her dad. Tillie even looks like Mack except the obvious color difference.

Tilly the Yellow is ready to begin again 🥳 After a few weeks of hold conditioning shortly after her arrival, we are back in the field. We didn’t retrieve during hold conditioning but we did continue with heel work and general obedience. That set us up nicely for her return to the field as we are able to jump right into these types of obedience/retrieving drills. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

When she was 7-8 months old, Tilly really didn’t care a whole lot about retrieving. Now at little over a year old… Tilly is one of the most driven dogs we’ve created and is very serious about her job 🏎️💨 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Tillie is ready to get back to retrieving 👍 We call it Hold Conditioning but for Tillie it was strictly to show her how to properly deliver the dummy. Hold Conditioning is a very tedious and delicate process. To ensure we don’t take steps backwards during Hold Conditioning, we do not retrieve until we are confident in the dog’s understanding of the hold and delivery in a controlled environment. We have tested Tillie with limited short and easy retrieves over 3 days and have determined that she is ready to get back to training in the field. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Samson is just easy 😎 This was his first unknown ladder drill and the boy looked like he’s done this a time or two… we are still trying to steady him up though. Message me if you’d like to order one of this slip collars that I’m training Samson with 👍 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Water makes Tilly a little loosey goosey 🤪 The reason you see me do dry ground work more than water is because you need to be 100% on a dry ground skill before trying it in water. Issues or gaps in training will be exposed when you go to the water - Whether it’s recall, delivery, lining, honoring, steadiness, whistle stop, etc. Tilly typically doesn’t show an inclination to switch on dry ground but it was apparently an issue here in the water. We’ll be reviewing this issue on dry ground before our next water day! #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

A little encouragement is all it takes… Kid1 has been determined to build a relationship with Big Mack but she faced some adversity while handling him today. They eventually overcame it together and finished strong. She’s got the corrective tone but is struggling to find the balance in also providing praise and encouragement. She is learning so much about developing relationships with her dogs and what it means to be a leader on and off the training field. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Steadiness - Proper Positioning - Discernment - Focus - Confidence - Self Control - These are just some of the characteristics and skills we create and develop through this early training time. I’ve been very intentional with food time training with several pups in the past couple of years. I’ve also gone on to train a majority of those in their formal training months. The dogs that learned these basic skills early on are significantly easier to train, transition to and from formal training better, complete formal training quicker, and are generally just more of a pleasure to be around 😅 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Puppy Problems: “Our puppy bites” “Jumps on us constantly” “Doesn’t listen!” And my favorite ⬇️ “We love him but he’s just bad 😆” Regardless of genetics 🧬… Your puppy will be what YOU make them. Establishing boundaries not only applies to the pup, but also to YOU! 🎡 Be Fair Don’t over stimulate unnecessarily. Be mindful of avoiding scenarios that indulge pup’s lack of self control. 🤗 Hands- A touchy subject Your hands are also your most frequent means of establishing OR crossing boundaries. Use them Wisely! ✅ Correction and Praise Use them in adequate volume, timely applications, consistently and in meaningful scenarios. It’s ok to correct pup (not punish). But corrections only work if there is clear and immediate indication or knowledge of the correct behavior or action. It’s also ok to praise pup. Praise is a means of expressing adequate approval for a correct behavior. But too much in an instance can actually lead to a reverse effect. Use just enough 👍 Be realistic of their ability to receive acknowledgment in the present scenario. Redirecting or removing them from the scenario and preventing a repeat offense is also an option!!! ⭐️ Bonus Point - Downtime/Nap Time 💤 Like toddlers, puppies need to decompress. And they need it often! Use a kennel/crate in an isolated area and use it often and you’ll experience a mentally capable pup more often! #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Tillie is the 5th of the Hope x Mack ‘24 pups that we’ll have the pleasure to work with. Like the rest of her litter mates, Tillie has a great personality, is very biddable, loves to work and a has substantial drive to retrieve. She has a lot of great characteristics that will make her fun to work with. Fixing her delivery is priority one for now… #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Samson is naturally a very calm and steady dog. Although, his desire to retrieve has been indulged to a point that he’s made general unsteadiness a behavior. It’s time to help him understand how much self control he can have and that he’ll be better for it in many aspects of his life. Samson hasn’t been with us long but I already know his personality and my training style will fit very well. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Raven 🐦‍⬛ - How important is this type of intentional time with your young companion and aspiring retriever? It’s necessary for the way I raise and train MY dogs. It creates continuity in the most impressionable time in the dog’s life. When we establish this minimal level of training now, it becomes a lifestyle and characteristic of the young pup. If it’s part of their lifestyle now, it will make the transition to “formal training” much easier in later months. However, what you do between these sessions also majorly contributes to the development of your pup. Here’s a few principles we live by when raising a young pup. - Limit commands to intentional and brief training scenarios with an incentive for success in obedience. No nagging commands! Nothing diminishes a command like repeating it over and over without the appropriate response from pup. - Kennel or crate time when we aren’t able to give undivided attention or when pup needs to decompress and/or rest. We call it “nap time” in the same sense we use for our toddler. And puppies need many more naps than a toddler! - Don’t indulge or overreact to undesirable behavior or actions. Instead, prevent exposure to the scenario or redirect pup. Encourage success and praise good decisions 👍. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Puppy Stuff 🐾 Raven is showing a great natural desire to deliver right now. We are taking advantage of that desire and beginning to shape a delivery. It doesn’t take much effort but it does require you to be very intentional with every aspect of the exchange. The beginning of this delivery was very informal as I was indulging her desire to bring it all the way and be loved for it. Typical puppy stuff… Raven then gave me a chance to work on some structured holding and taking of the @dogbonehunter dummy. I love all of the characteristics we’re seeing from Raven so far and I’m very excited to have her. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Josey is one of our dams and is part of Partner Program. This is a simple video but it shows her personality so well. Josey is rarely phased by anything. She is calm, collected, respectful, and quiet. Josey also has a very sneaky prey drive that will surprise you! All she wants to do is please and retrieve. The girl is an example of what we are striving to provide as a family gundog 🐾 Josey’s first litter is scheduled with Coy next summer. With Harper’s litter filling up, Josey’s litter is our next with availability for deposits! Call me to learn more about Josey and Coy. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Kid1 and Big Mack 🐾 Mack took advantage of Kid1’s lack of discipline and tested her a few times before this retrieve. He broke once and that led to a few unsteady casts. Here, Kid1 began to remedy her session with Mack by gently reinforcing AND encouraging steadiness under pressure. It also helped that I provided some reinforcement by moving in front of them for this retrieve😉 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Raven loves a place stand 🐾 And today was the first day of introducing the “place” command with her. She is a very smart pup and I don’t anticipate her to struggle with the concept of what place is or what it means. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

One:One Training 🐾 This is my favorite way to train a client dog. One on One training is more beneficial to the dog, the owner, and the trainer.

We’ve missed having pups around here… Raven is going to be so fun.

Introducing… Raven 🖤 Raven is the latest addition to our family and we are very excited to have her here! She’s calm, quiet, content, and loves her people. However, Raven immediately brings some other characteristics that differ from what you’ll typically see of our dogs. As you can see from her tail position and body language, Raven is quite bold and confident! She is going to be a very fun pup to raise and train as a part of our family and as a gundog 🐾 Thank you Swayze Family for the opportunity to buy this precious pup! #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

First test run on the new tracking gimbal thingy… it’s going to take a few days to figure it out 🤪 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Until next time, Goose! Thanks Drake and Jayley for trusting us with providing this wonderful little pup. It was a pleasure to finally meet ya’ll. Have fun with the little guy and we’ll see ya’ll soon!

Island Hopping Harper 🏝️ - Being able to manipulate your training can be very beneficial! We’ve been emphasizing Harper’s lining ability this offseason above anything else. What you see here is a continuation of extending Harper’s line through various transitions. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

This is one of my favorite times in the development of a dog… puppy walks in the yard 🐾 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Marlen’s Lady May 🖤 We’re really enjoying our last couple of weeks with Lady May before she goes to her new home in SC. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Lady and I shot dummies today. It took three shots to bring this one down… #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Harper is a very talented goober 🙃 After several months of trying a different style of casting my dogs on blinds - I went back to this more elaborate method for the last several outings. Harper, Mack and Merle immediately improved their length in lining out. It’s not as ideal for me but I noticed they seem more focused and confident in casting and have a better understanding in the specific line I want them to take. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Kid1 - The Puppy Pal - This kid loves raising pups and is great at preparing them for transition to their owners 🐾 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Fun Day Friday - group marks and pile retrieves 🐾 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Lady May has found a new home in SC but will remain with us for a few more weeks so we can get her ready for the upcoming dove season 🐾 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Shinnhill Harper of Marlen and Marlen’s Muscogee Mack 🐾 We’re looking forward to an outstanding litter from these two next year. Meanwhile, this season is going to be fun with the addition of Harper to our hunting team. Dove season can’t get her soon enough… #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Lots of progress in a week ☀️ Sunny still hasn’t realized a desire or understanding to retrieve memories (or placed dummies in general), so we’ll continue utilizing the excitement of marks and keep testing her with short memories in the meanwhile. But one thing that stands out to me is her naturally calm and prompt delivery… Much like her Dad, Mack 🖤 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Merle and Mack - These two are starting to look like a team 💪 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Marlen’s Muscogee Mack There isn’t anything we don’t love about Big Mack. In addition to creating outstanding pups - Mack is handsome, talented, respectful, and a great friend. Mack will sire a litter next year when we pair him with Harper 🖤 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Sunny, one of our trainees, has lacked interest in retrieving in her time with us so far. But it looks like we are on our way to unlocking some real desire after today. Also, Coach Harper was there to lead by example and provide some motivation 🐾 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Merle almost totally deviated but that’s why we are here. I spend most of my training time on client dogs and my younger dogs so Merle doesn’t get field work as much as he should. So he’s a little rusty… One thing I’ve really enjoyed seeing in Merle lately is how much he is maturing in his skills as a retriever. He has become much more patient and it’s made him better at marking and more efficient in his hunting ability on blinds. Now, we just need to straighten his line back out 😂 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Harper has a great nose and knows how to use it - So it’s safe to say the scent conditions are not very favorable right now… #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Tilly’s owners have come to retrieve her from her initial training 🐾 I’m very pleased with how well Tilly and Mr. David did together. This is the start of a wonderful relationship between these two. We’ll miss Tilly around here but she’ll be back later this year to advance her training. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Today, I challenged Tilly by pushing her through the end of our mowed lanes and into cover. We’re making progress a little at a time 💪 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Sunny is the 4th pup from our Hope x Mack ‘24 litter to come back for training. We will have Sunny for a couple of months to initiate training for her owner. Sunny is very much like her sire, Mack. She is calm, collected, and a very pleasant dog to be around. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Saved by the Nose - Harper’s 4-Point review Harper’s first day back to reviewing our lining skills. Here, we pushed the dummy right past the end of the lane, over a transition, and into some deep cover. The objective is to rebuild her lining ability little by little through this drill over the next several training sessions. When I’m confident in Harper’s consistency at a certain distance - I’ll move the dummy a little further on this line or incorporate another variable to continue building her length. This particular retrieve indicates to me that we need to stay at this distance until I see her hold that line more consistently. She almost made a hard right to go on a “rogue hunt” until her nose saved her. This lane is also one of four different lanes that we can pivot to in order to give her different looks at similar retrieves. Hence - the 4-point drill. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

I don’t think I’ve seen such a drastic increase in drive as I have with Tilly these last couple months. Fired Up 🔥 #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

We made some fresh lanes for Tilly to run a 4 point over the next several days before she goes back to the Denneys in East AL. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

Tilly gets a little too excited when you pull out the Lucky Launcher 😂. She loves a launcher mark and rarely misses. #britishlabrador #uklabradors #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram #labrador #retrievertraining #blacklabrador #yellowlabrador #gundog #britishlabradors #britishlabs #foxredlabrador #duckdog #companiongundog #labpuppy #duckhunting #retriever #upland #workinggundog #blacklab #foxredlab #yellowlab

With all that comes with Summer☀️, we’ve been limited to short yard work sessions for a few days.
