The Lab I have now was so well breed, it’s as if she was almost born trained. She was super easy to train. She’s from American hunting and Field trial stock.
This dog has insane energy, but what’s most profound is she can turn it off. Her self control is otherworldly.
Both of these apply to our Remi. All I really had to do was introduce her to birds and teach her to stay close. She's literally done the rest herself. Currently she is sleeping between my two youngest boys, spends most of her time lounging in our camper but in an instant is ready to go hunt hard all day or train for a few hours.
