Pat Burns Elite Retriever Training

If you're here because you love retrievers, welcome.

I'm Pat Burns with Elite Retrievers. I've been training retrievers for more than 40 years, and one thing I've learned is that dog training is a school you never graduate from. Every dog will teach you something if you're willing to pay attention.

Whether you're training your first hunting retriever, preparing for hunt tests or field trials, or simply want a better relationship with your dog, I hope you'll find something here that helps.

This channel is an extension of the conversations we have every day on the training grounds. We'll talk about retriever training, hunting dog training, retriever handling, line mechanics, and the lessons I've learned from thousands of dogs, along with stories from the field and my experiences with the Super Retriever Series.

I'm still learning every day. I hope you'll learn something alongside me.
