First thing,
find a local retriever club. Those boys are a saving grace. If no help there order a good training dvd and a electronic collar. I have a troublesom yellow male. I actually sent him to a pro trainer. He was just to much for me to handle. Now he is the Sh*t. But I still have to work with him. Using the electronic dog collar turns him into robo dog. It is not used for a punishment. Just an attention getter!
Good Luck, Paitence is key. Oh ya, I just got a new black female pup last week. She is a terror. Anyway, go to Ducks unlimitited's web site. the have a ton of training tips that I have put into my routine!
