Most folks confuse hunt test with field trials, it's like comparing 5A football with the NFL. Total Retriever Training is one of the best out there but not the only program. Don't waste your $$ on anything from Mike Stewart or the British lab Charlatans. I can walk just about anyone through the basic program if they have the DVD training program, it's not rocket surgery. Plan to dedicate 30 min a day 5-6 days a week for 10 months. It also helps if you can find a local pro to mentor you when you hit a wall. Most will be willing to help for your sweat equity but be prepared to keep your mouth shut and ears open. PM me if you need to find a Good pro in your area, they aren't all good.
