Preface: Got a call from my newest son-in-law. He came across a Choc Lab puppy, pure bred etc, in need of a permenant home. He doesn't have the facilites but I could here the "want to" in his voice. He 'wondered' if I would take it.
Good ol' me, sure I said
Son-in-law was jubliant......
Last night the 'puppy' shows up. 8 Month old male, he must weigh 60+ lbs.
He passed all of the first test. He's nice, gentle, well mannered and will make a good traveling companion.
But....I've never had an animal that wasn't developed to its fullest capabilities (horses, catahoulas, border collies and Lewellen setters).
I live in a good area, ducks geese, pheasants, quail in back yard (big area).
Question, where to learn the basics to begin training?
TIA
