Duck dog trainers
 

Does anybody know of any good Duck dog trainers in or around the Fort Polk Area? I have a black lab pup I want to get trained up. Any help would be much appreicated. Thanks!

Pm Raymond. He trains dogs and might know someone up that way.

X2 search "Raymond"

Ok thanks guys

Jordan......he'll have that dog fetching beer in no time!!!

Kayak, where at by ft polk? Jordan & I live in rosepine. Def check out Raymond though!

2nd Raymond...stand up fella. I have an 8 month old...ain't fetching beer yet... working on it

Sent from my Incredible phone

I live On north polk about 15 min from rosepine do you guys train dogs? and how much would you charge?

Jordan can train him to eat. That's bout it.

LMAO!!!!!

We don't traim em. Just live in the area. Only bout 6 of us live that far north. Pm raymond. Great guy.

have you thought about training it yourself? Read the book "Water Dog" and you'd be surprised at how it comes out. How olds the dog? What breed? Color? Got any pics? Training isn't hard, hell Raymond can do it so it cant be that hard, just takes a lot of time and repetition is key.

Thanks for the vote of confidence there Braq.:shaking:
Suggest finding a more up to date source of information than WD,it never was much of a training book. There are many DVD's on the market now that will help if you will invest the time. CajunForman is one on the site that has taken me up on help and he might be able to explain what it takes to train with me. Basic obiedience is pretty straight forward and easily followed from the dvd's. You will get an idea of what is done to produce a solid dog. Marks are not thrown from your side but out in a field where the dog can learn depth perception and negotiate obsticles. I am always training and have great property, when the pup is old enough come down and I will help you out as much as you want. I would however find professional help when it is time to force fetch the dog. This is not an area that newbies should play with.

Very good point, now go insure someone:shaking:

Ok 1fastmerc :rolleyes:

hey boi watch your mouth, my boat runs fine dont jinx it

Oh my!!! Haha!!

Oh no you didn't!:rotfl:

Kinda hard to figure out which is the man or the wife:D

Yes, I did take Raymond up on his offer to help me out. For my cousin and I, he has been a very BIG help in getting our dogs to the level they're at today. I'm certainly no a professional but I will tell you this if you don't have the time to mess with them everyday I would just send him to a professional. The DVDs are a very big help but unless you really know what you are doing you will still have as Raymond says "Holes" in your program. Every dog is different so this is when experience comes in to play when you come across problems. Best of Luck to ya!!

Yeah I have been working with him as much as I can he's a year old black lab. He's a fast learner and very smart.

If you are thinking about sending him to someone I would recommend raymond. I'm not just saying that because he's on this board but he has help me out a lot and he knows his stuff!

Preciate the vote of confidence buddy, right now I am ful and will b until mid 2012. Can refer to competent guys I know or walk anyone through the basics.

Are you still looking for a trainer? I've got a great suggestion for a local guy in the Leesville area. He and his wife have trained a bunch of folks dogs, got them to the HRCH Grand level. I'll be glad to pass along his contact information if you're interested.

Good luck!

Yes I sure am that would be great help thanks.

If you don't mind me asking, who did you get the dog from?

Kayak, If you are looking for a trainer I would suggest Joe Perron in Pineville. Not to far from you. I breed labs and he is training one of my pups and taking him to the Grand in October. PM me for other trainers, but Joe is the best closest to you in my opionion.

I also trained my female on Waterdog book and DVD and I now have a phenominal hunting dog. Waterdog is old school but still is a great tool.

This is the book I got to train my Chocolate Lab. She is amazing!

Her now. 1Year 6 months. And she is looking forward to duck and Dove season!

My ex wife picked him up from a gal in TX.

I have read this book twice lol and it has helped out a lot.

A guy named Otis Gordy and his wife trained my Lab. They are in Olla. They did a great job with him. If you want his number, let me know.
