For retriever training suggest the site below. Search function works well. Match the bird to the dog. Young pups pigeons are the way to go. As they grow you can go to larger birds. Best advice I can give you is find a good training group with folks who know more than you do.
Thanks for the link. Nice to see Mike Lardy still in the game, I trained with him in the late 90's in Wisconsin. No one has Won more National Open Championships than Mike.
