My advice take it leave it Train him and enjoy the time with your dog it's a lot of fun and you can be that much more proud when people look at your dog and say wow how did you teach him that. Other wise it's like getting someone else to sight in your rifle . My two cents

I agree with this comment
if you don't have the experience join a retriever club
the people there will help you out and give you pointers
it will be beneficial for you and yer dawg,
take in a retriever course , lots of retriever clubs hold them
you will get way more satisfaction out of training yer own dog
as well when you hire a trainer its like giving yer dog away
in the end result is
have you tried ordering another mans dog around???
it just don't work the same
