This module explains how to develop obedience, confidence, and early field skills in retrievers between 3–5 months old using positive, reward-based training methods. It covers essential foundations such as leash manners, heel and sit commands, and the kennel/place cue, while also introducing puppies to retrieves, marking, and water in a fun, confidence-building way. Each lesson emphasizes consistency, motivation, and adapting techniques to suit your puppy’s temperament and drive. By the end of the course, handlers will have a well-rounded, eager puppy ready to transition into more advanced obedience and retrieving work.
