I would like to throw Eddie Noga with Zion Kennels out there again. He trained my dog and I could not ask for a better trained pup. Everytime I called Eddie he was happy to talk with me about where me pup was in training and was very honest with me.

I also like the fact that he built his buisness on a Christian foundation. He wants everyone to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Now that is Awesome!

Check out his website at www.zionkennels.com.

Jesus loves shooting ducks and paying money for a good cause like teaching your dog to get what you kill.

haha! I think Jesus would love Duck Hunting! I know he would like to see his dog picking them up! I bet his dog would have a great water entry! hahaha! I wonder what color of lab he would choose?

Jesus told me, he would only hunt with a chessy. Only sinners hunt with labs.

Jesus doesn't care what kind of dog you duck hunt with....as long as it's black.

or brown

Jesus doesn't need a dog. He shoots the birds and they fall at his feet.

Jesus' dog walks on water all the way to the duck. Brushy Creek Kennels in Royse City is pretty good, there a guy in Sachse tx thats pretty good to.

You can't go wrong having your dog trained here: http://drakesportingdogs.com/index.html

im sorry but the training for these kennels for obedience alone is 500.00 a month and up!!

I cant afford that. any "cheaper" suggestions?

I really need some help. i enjoy my lab being inside but the older he gets the worse he is. im almost getting to the point of getting rid of him.

Im only home every other week due to work. but my wife dosnt have the patience for his ignorance.She has tried to train him but he only gets simple commands. sit, shake, laydown. he knows a crate. He just has no self control around the kids, or in the home.

where do i go from here? i surley cant hunt with him he barely retrives a tennis ball. when he gets tired of it he simply lays down or looses intrest.

is he a lost cause?

sounds to me like you just answered your own question... even if you pay the big bucks and have him trained... if you are gone that much you will most likely never get that dog to be worth much... I am sure the trainers will agree if the dog is trained and dosent get constant "refresher" courses it will never be able to live up to its potiential. if he is a really good dog then give him to a buddy that hunts and has some time to spend with him.

Just my opinion... but good luck whatever you end up doing
