Background
Owning Labrador Retrievers since the age of 9 has given Lynne a rare opportunity. She learned to listen to her dogs. They have taught her more than she has taught them, and to think any differently would be an error on her part, according to Lynne.
She has had the pleasure of training dogs for 29 years and has owned and operated Super Dog Obedience and Gun Dog Training for 19 years. She works with all breeds of dogs and they have all taught her a tremendous amount of priceless knowledge that she gladly shares with others.
She began bird hunting when she was 18 years old. Lynne grew up hunting other species of game but since her dad was not a waterfowl hunter, she did not have access to duck hunting. So she taught her dogs to hunt grouse and quail, and then searched for a waterfowl group to join. Several years later she became an active member of the Hunting Retriever Club.
Throughout her training, she has worked under the belief that if you love what you do and you understand what is expected, you will perform to the best of your ability, and that is how she trains her dogs. She is firm but fair, and she makes sure they understand what is asked of them.
Lynne’s main dog now is HR Fowlcreeks TF Black as Night CD SH (aka Nighty). She is a 7 year old Labrador Retriever. She is my hunting partner and my constant companion. They do seminars and demonstrations for Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, and several others stores to promote their sponsors, hunting, and the joys of having a great dog.

E-Collars: Finding the Right One and Using it Correctly

The Evolution of Dog Training: Communication is Key
When I started training I was young and green, there were not many training groups in my area to work with, just a few older gentlemen that got together once a month to train. I can’t complain because they welcomed a snot-nosed girl to train with them and I did...
