This module explains how to advance training for 5–7 month old retriever puppies by building precision, control, and confidence in the field and at home. It covers advanced leash and heel work, e-collar transitions, marking drills, gunfire introductions, and water-based steadiness exercises. Lessons focus on developing calm, reliable hunting behavior through positive reinforcement, consistent handling, and real-world training scenarios. By integrating obedience with field skills like quartering, marking, and blind work, this course prepares young retrievers for their first hunting season with steadiness, focus, and enthusiasm.
