#4 Before you buy a dog, you have to be clear about one thing: you have to train every dog that you cannot carry under your arm!
Retrieving is the Flat-Coated Retriever's second passion, along with being fond of water.
#5 The Flat-Coated Retriever is one of the easy-to-handle dog breeds, but the young dog’s playfulness can be an obstacle to concentration and training at the beginning.
He needs a consistent, loving upbringing. Don't be fooled by the loyal look, the dog knows exactly what to do. He is sensitive and does not like hard training drills. An imaginative instructor makes learning fun for him.
