Mike Lardy

You would be better served to join a retriever club, or work with a pro, or somehow find a mentor who knows what theuy are doing to guide you. Training is a hands on discipline.

If you want a DVD, I would look at the accomplishments of the trainer.

There is absolutely no comparison between Lardy's results and Grahams.

Lardy has trained scores of Champions, including more National Champions than anyone in history. Whereas Graham has never titled a dog. I believe he has only a 4th place finish in his entire career.

I don't think DVD's are much use, except maybe Lardy's CC Video. However for a beginner, I think that Lardy's collection of RJ articles Volume 1 is PURE GOLD
