Bill Hillman is a great resource to getting your pup off to a good start. We have worked with him personally, his training techniques are very effective. 

This is an easy to follow and well written book to build a great foundation for your retriever. Great for beginners or seasoned dog owners. 

GunDog Outdoors has some great products but our favorite is the Field Trauma Kit. It is equipped to handle unexpected injuries to your dog. We don't train or hunt without it. Use code: torg15 to get 15% off your purchase.
