Here is a link to Cindy Leonard's Kennel. I think you would like her. No offense to Ronnie Smith as I have been to his kennels. But I feel your dog would do much better with someone who specifically trains retrievers. She does a basic gundog program with includes force fetching which is the foundation for having a quality gundog. She is very caring with the dogs and I like her gentle nature. She really knows how to earn a dogs trust. Here is her started program: Started Program: Basic obedience, both on and off leash, with collar conditioning and force fetch (delivering to hand) are the two major components in the started program. Time is also spent on swims, land retrieves (land- water- land retrieves), and introduction to birds, guns, decoys, and steady drills (waiting to be sent for a retrieve) The program is approximately three months duration, depending on the individual dog.
Sounds like exactly what you want.

I have known Cindy for 30 years. Did a bunch of training with them back in the day. They actually used to come up here to train.
Sent Magic to Cindy on the first of July. As a 15 month old dog was kind of late getting started. Training is going wonderful after only 2 months. Plan on leaving him a couple of more months then it's off to hunting season. Glad I followed the recommendation and used Cindy.
