sandymere 8,263 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 The kennel must come first as it’ll need somewhere to live, it needs to be big enough for the dog to lie flat in i.e. stretched out and dry as well as being as draught free as possible. To big and it will be harder for the dog to warm it. Lamping, I’d wait till next season and get the dog settled and fit through the summer which will allow time to work on the training such as retrieving, some dogs don’t it will depend on what the dog has done so far. Jumping etc start of low and increase gradually, you’ve got all summer to get there. If you post a single question such as, how to teach retrieve training, , in the main you’ll get some good advice. Feeding, I feed twice a day with a main meal in the morning and a light snack in the evening. Sandymere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
