Fetch Method TrainingTera Lanczak, the lifeblood of Bay Blue Kennels, has dedicated her life to raising and training champion retrievers. Tera is Owner/Trainer of Bay Blue Kennels ( www.baybluekennels.com), wintering in Giddings, TX and summering in Au Gres, MI. Bay Blue Kennels has focused on developing young, competitive retrievers for hunt tests, field trials, and working gun dogs.

Tera has developed a new website, www.ForceFetch.com , for retriever enthusiasts looking for knowledge of the conditioned retrieve. Force fetch training is a very time-consuming and tedious process where attention to detail is critical. Timing and rhythm, along with the aid of your body language, are key elements in the successful teaching of the force fetch. Visit her website for information and videos on the ins and outs of Force Fetch Training.

The Balanced Retriever Training Forum with Bill Hillmann

For the last few months Bill Hillmann has been participating in a new type of retriever training forum where he has guided owners of 5 different dogs in the training of their own dogs. There has been a wide range in the ages of the dogs and in various stages of training. Much useful information has been learned by all and now a few openings are available to others who may need help in their training. Bill is excellent at problem solving for all levels of training, so join in the conversations.

A few select openings are available: Clients will video their training sessions and submit them to the training forum. On a weekly basis Bill will then critique the sessions and post comments online so that those training episodes can be followed by interested viewers. Contact us at info@findretrievers.com.
