I have used the wing a lot on my pups just don't do it to much. if you do it a few more times I see no harm. if the dog sit easy lift his back end up and gently push the dog toward the wing

dog must have ear prob. shooting one day should not cause this. the mistake I think you made was you and some friends shooting that much around a five month old pup. this is how gun shyness is created. even if the dog has been shoot around. good luck I hope the dog gets its hearing back

I like setters. I have a pointer that's just as good on grouse. but the setters do better in real cold weather. and most grouse are found in cold weather states. and the long hair is better in real thick cover.. and where are grouse found.. but I have seen good grouse dogs in all types of dogs. the ...

you could try and use some quail sent. I would rub quail scent on the launcher then put the rag in the launcher put some on the pigeons and set it out and shoot the bird. if this wont work you will have to find some quail

setterpoint

sounds like you got a nice pup. the bonding thing is first as said already. and I would say this dog may back natural. when the pup is ready take her for walks off leash where you can see her when the dog gets out a bit call and change your direction this will teach the dog to hunt with you. sounds ...

if you cant train the dog your self.. it sounds like you might not be able to.. I would seek pro help it is going to coast you less in the long run and get the dog trained right.. you cant put up bad manners that can hurt someone.you owe it to your dog

learn from the trainer how he handled the dog in the field. use the same commands if he used come you don't want to use hear to call the dog back.you don't want to confuse the dog

whoa is used in training yes there are times out hunting it can be good for your dodto know. but in training your dog points a planted bird then he starts to creep. if you can say whoa and he stops so you can flush the bird isn't this what you want.but it bothers me to be hunting and someone your hu...

I think your dog is just trying to fig.things out for himself. in other words what will work for him.dont let him keep doing this. bad habits are hard to break.this is where your yard work pays off. he knows what whoa means you have to enforce it you might have to go back to planted birds then move on

setterpoint

most dogs will mouth the bird some more than others..as long as he will bring the bird back and not tear the meat. up I would be happy with this.. the dog will get better at retrieving the more he dose it if you are not sat..with this then I would teach the force fetch
