Get on a good training program and follow it page by page, chapter by chapter. Take it SLOWLY.

For a good ol' hunting dog, get the "10 Minute Retriever", by John and Amy Dahl. For a truly superb hunting dog (that could easily do well in Hunt Tests) go with "Smartwork for retrievers" (vol I and Vol II) by Evan Graham.

Get a book or two ordered ASAP.
