Mike Thyen is a teacher and coach and our training period happens during the summer months
of June, July and August. The general age of dogs should be around 7-8 months up to 2 years.
We have a Basic Course which includes all Obedience training, Force Fetch and
Whistle training, Hand Signals, Collar Conditioning if wanted, Single marks and simple Double marks
on both land and water.


We also have an Advanced Program which is the teaching of multiple marks and
the knowledge needed for the blind retrieve. Whatever your needs I'm sure we can make it work.
T-Bird's Labs has countless acres of training ground and each dog gets
individual attention and are trained at their own pace. This ensures the success of your dog's
training program.
We want your retriever to be the talk of the hunt and a hunting partner you can
be proud of and have fun and success with.
