1. "Introduction" Excerpt:
"This film is going to explain my way of
starting a retriever puppy, to get them started in the right direction.  This is the same information you'll need whether you have a springer spaniel, golden retriever, poodle or any other breed that you want to teach to retrieve.  This beginning will create habits and form relationships that will be a foundation for any retrieving activity whether its hunting ducks, upland game or chasing a tennis ball in the park, or even going into competitive events."

2. "Wild to Retrieve First" Excerpt:
" The key to this type of training is to get the retrieving going first. You have to have a wild puppy before you start to get them to do any obedience, or sitting or anything like that.. first thing is to get them wild to retrieve."
3. "Live Bird Introduction" Excerpt:
"Don't take it away from him right away. Get ahold of him first, otherwise he's going to be reluctant to come back to you.  Keep the excitement up!  You want him to be real , REAL
excited about these birds.  I'm not trying to get him to retrieve.  All I'm doing here is getting him excited about live birds."
4. "Happy Puppy" Excerpt:
"Now this puppy is happy and if you don't
have a happy puppy you're not doing it right.  A puppy has got to be happy.
You don't want an unhappy puppy, or one that is getting too much discipline for the amount of happiness he has.  He has to retrieve and love it!  You can't go forward with any obedience, any commands, any sitting, anything like that if he's not happy and loves retrieving.   That is step one!"
Training a Retriever Puppy - with Bill Hillmann
"It often goes unrecognized how critical early training can be in the life of a puppy.  Most individuals are unaware of the opportunities to create intensity, desire and tractability at a very young age.  For the first time ever we are presented with a DVD which lays unprecedented ground work  . . .  . Bill Hillmann's  Training a Retriever Puppy  is surely a masterpiece and a definite must for any owner wishing to give his or her puppy the very best start."
