There are many good books on training your new pup. Wolters has one entitled Water Dog and another Duck Dog they are both good books and there several others as well as videos available. Go to you local library and see what they have or if you have a Barnes and Noble book store they will either have the books on hand or will willingly order whatever you want. Good luck on your dog training and when you have an acomplished retriever you will be proud and rightfully so.
