New from northwestern Pa

Hey everyone,

I'm Bob, Im from just north of pittsburgh right outside of Cranberry township. I just got my first gun dog in May, his name is Kash, he's now an almost 8month old GSP. I've been hunting birds for awhile but populations of birds in pa are low (even in game commission stocked areas) so I figured a dog could improve the odds in my favor. I've been reading the forum for awhile, just finally got around to making an account. I'm currently working with a local trainer to give Kash and myself every advantage possible. I've had him out quite a few times this year already trying to build his confidence. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated thank you
