A little about me and my dog.

I have an 9 month old English Pointer that I have been working with. This is my first bird dog and he is a lot of fun. His name is Cooper. I live in Utah. I plan on getting involved in some NSTRA trials here.
Mostly looking to have a decent bird dog in the end and have a lot of fun with him. I might try to guide on a hunt club if he gets good enough.
Just going to start introducing him to birds and will probably get an E-collar soon ( I want to do that right.).
So far he has not been on birds formally. He has chased a couple of quail. And busted a couple of pheasants. He minds me half the time on whoa. I am looking to work with some birds soon. Probably some pigeons to start with.
He will retrieve a canvass dummy. I can whoa him, then throw the dummy. He will stay there, I can walk around a bit then release him with a tap on the head. He will then go find it and bring it straight back only about 1/3 of the time. 2/3 he takes his own sweet time and messes around first.
