Somedays mine would rather lounge by the pool instead of going duck hunting! Actually, they go crazy when they see me loading up the decoys, shotguns, etc. into my truck!

Re: Huntin' Dawg
Get the Koheler method book from amazon, etc. I would first make sure that the dog is not gun shy. Use a starter gun from a few hundred yards away from your dog. Have your wife hold him while you shoot. Keep shooting while getting closer to your dog. If he is not scared then have him walk next to you while you shoot the gun. Then start off with basic obedience and then retrieval training. Also, he looks to be almost full grown so certain things like "Force Fethching" might be too stressful for a grown dog to learn.
