“Timing is everything in retriever training,” says Chris Akin of Webb Footed Kennels in Bono, Arkansas. Akin has trained more than 4,000 retrievers in his 20-plus-year career.  By design, he favors a go-slow approach with young dogs.  The proof is in the results. Included among his former canine students are more than 100 grand champions and master hunters, titles that are not attainable without a keen understanding of a dog’s mindset.
“Dog training in a nutshell is turning a negative into a positive,” Akin says.  “The first thing you have to do is make sure the dog knows what you are asking it to do.”
Akin prefers waiting until a dog is ready before beginning formal training.  “Let a puppy be a puppy until it’s six months old.”
