Best DVD/book for my situation?

[shaneroyce]

Some of you may be familiar with me and my do from a couple previous posts. I'm a brand new trainer, and he's an almost 13 month old EP that I've had for six weeks or so.

He was started well last summer and into last fall by someone else, and then spent about s months running in a back yard when I got him at 11 months.

I've spent my entire time with him bonding, running on wild birds once or twice a week (very little luck finding them), and working on come, heel, and a little on whoa.

He retrieves very well, obeys well on the cc with pinch collar, has lots of intensity on point (carded pigeons - creeps and flushes them himself after a minute or so), seems to have a good nose, and is gun conditioned (can shoot a 20 guage right over him when retrieving).

Question: What is the best DVD or book for a rookie trainer to use to move this, and future dogs, forward? This is mainly for hunting (mainly chukar) and possibly some hunt tests for fun. I have 6 kids and they all love to work with me and the dog and I would like them involved.

Let's hear your suggestions and why. Thanks!
