Actually, if you are following a GOOD Training Program, you will need at least a dozen,
if you want a truly "finished" dog.

just wanted to get him in the water. I plan on getting more and a dummy launcher. Only had him a week and a day. He knows sit, stay and come with verbal and whistle commands. He knows Kennel, outside, off, take and he's potty trained. He's retrieving on land and water and returning it to me. We are working on "heel". I fire a cap gun before his meals to get him used to guns. I'd say I'm off to a good start for being new to this.
