- Teaching Fox red Lab Pup to jump carrying a dummy, also a nice long Marked Retrieve which was very well done. Gundog training for picking up dogs, a rare one on one training session with my young Labrador Retriever.
finally a lab thats not overweight
What a gorgeous dog!
Thanks, a couple of months short of 2 years old now, he is still nice and lean, strong and athletic dog.
what a great dog you have there!! great to watch dog and handler working!
Love your tone, very positive, and encouraging
Well done Gus and well Colin
Such a good lad, handsome fella ta boot.
Excellent video please do more
He is beautiful and well muscled!
thanks Aleshia, I like to keep them both nice and lean.
@@northlawgundogs5254 I have a female Fox Red and she is also very lean and muscular. Seems like they are like that more so than other breeds of labs.
Mine is now 2 months off being 2 years old and still lean and muscular 👌
gorgeous dog, curious on if you used specific training methods for his fetch - did you follow a program? Or did you force fetch? expecting a pup in january, want to be prepared. You have great dogs.
Hi Ethan, no ‘programs’ or ‘force fetch’, extracting their natural ability and desire is all that’s needed if the dog has the right breeding. Don’t over think it, they are hard wired to retrieve! The very basics of how I train is based on ‘game play’. Have them retrieving from a very young pup, a rolled up sock, light weight ball etc, enclosed space such as a hallway or the corner of a room in your house so the only place they can go is back to you. Lots of praise, make the dog want to be with you, firm but fair, nothing is forced and only short sessions to start. Getting the pup to stop/stop and sit is also something to start right away, whether you use a short pip on a whistle, or whatever, bring it in early, meal time make the pup sit, pip on the whistle… manners ! I reiterate though game play, make the early training days fun for the dog and it will want to please you for life. My 2 are completely different, Gus, in this video, is a soft dog, he is now 2.5 years old and is still a ‘soft dog’ needs handled differently to Cooper. Good luck
@@northlawgundogs5254 Fantastic, thank you so much. Your videos have been extremely useful. There is so much information out there when it comes to training it is easy to become overwhelmed. I like your approach, the pup is coming from a proven pedigree so I anticipate will have a high drive. Thank you for the information!
Nae bad, can I ask where in Scotland you are? We're near aberdeen👍
I'm in Livingston Bruce.

Isn't that cutie a bit underweight??
37 kg/ 81lbs, regularly remarked upon how 'in shape' he is, my vet comments on much it is nice to see a "real lab" that isnt carrying excess weight. He is nearly 3 now, still in the same condition gets fed exactly the same as the black lab who is also in a nice lean condition. An over weight dog is nothing but cruel and long term will suffer.
What do you charge for a pup
Sorry Thomas, I ain’t qualified to take to take someone else’s dogs on, these are videos purely showing me and my 2 (3rd one coming later in the year) If people take the odd bit of ‘how to’ or ‘I’ll try that’ from these that’s great!
Cheers.
