Sometimes you can fing them in the yellow pages of the phone book: dog training, hunting, field, gun dog kennels and trainers.

Next, use your imagination and do a www search:

Bird dog kennels
Lab kennels
Lab bird training
Lab hunting
training a bird dog, gun dog
field trials for dogs

There are many breeders of “field” Labs…. only one off the top of my head: Diamond P Kennels in Calif, where my daughter bought hers

Join your local Labrador club. A lot of clubs get together on weekends to train together, and there will be plenty of people willing to work with you to teach you how to train your dog.

If you’re lucky, you may find a pro that will let you tag along on their training sessions, and to field trials and such and teach you everything.

Look for a hunting club in your area-if you are having a hard time, first look up local Gun Clubs, and give them a call and ask them.
I think the best way would to be to contact a club, the members would obviously have dogs trained in that manner, so they would be able to point you in the right direction. I bet it would be great to apprentice to a dog trainer, you could learn so much that way (I think hands on is always the best way)

Good Luck!

Join a dog training club, the person that trained the dog can probably refer you. They are not for profits of people preparing to take AKC tests. The breeder should be able to refer you as well and you can always get info from the .
