"My wife bought me "Training a Retriever Puppy" as a Christmas gift. I have watched it twice and will watch it many more times. It is very informative and your presentation was great. I'm wanting to add a link to it to my website, because I believe anyone with a puppy should have this DVD."

Training a Retriever Puppy - with Bill Hillmann
 | ||||
Bill's entire puppy training process is shown.
There are no off camera training sessions.
In Bill's words:
"In retriever puppy training the key is to get the retrieving
going first. You have to have a wild puppy before you
start to do obedience. First thing is to get them wild to
retrieve. If they aren't wild to retrieve, you don't want
to start making them sit and walk on a lead.
First they get wild, then you balance that with the leash
and the sit command. The same balance should
be carried throughout the dog's life.
Every dog is different and the training program
must match and balance their unique personalities.
All dogs need balance, and a puppy trained with
the correct balance is eager to retrieve, obedient on
the line, and in the field, and extremely HAPPY."
Bill shares his many years of experience and explains
his way of starting a retriever puppy. Contained in
this newly released 3 hour Traininig a Retriever Puppy
DVD are the methods and secrets to produce a
fabulous retriever whether you are interested in a
family pet, a hunting dog, or a dog for competiton.
This is an opportunity to learn Bill's way of creating
a special balance needed to create desire and trainability.

About the DVD
Bill teaches steadiness very young and introduces excitement very differently than most conventional training. He becomes a "traffic cop" in his introduction to steadiness, as he throws the bumper himself.
To counter this early steadiness Bill uses a lot of happy bumpers to keep the excitement level of the puppy high.
" I have trained a lot of young dogs and they have turned out pretty well, but I have never come close to the success that Bill Hillmann has consistently enjoyed. The secret's out! I am changing the way I train puppies and can already see beautiful results." Joe Skaggs Professional flyfishing guide, amateur retriever trainer
"I feel the Hillmann Puppy Training Video is a very fair and humane example of how to properly develop a retriever puppy. A balanced puppy most likely results in a balanced dog. Taking in young dogs that have followed Bill's program is making my job a lot easier and is resulting in faster and better progression."
