I have an 18 month old pup who is going to run in some HTs coming up. As a 9 month old, she had some issues tagging her bracemate and not hunting on her own in the back course. I didn't put any pressure on her because she was just a pup. She was hunted on wild birds all season long and matured consi...

Re: When to begin bird training?

To have a bold, confident pup you need to give your pup contact with birds. One way you can do this is use a locked wing pigeon. Use a confined area so she can't run off, then toss it out in front of her. Let her start handling birds. If she retreives great, but you're not working on that. She needs...
