Wonder if the dog is blinking. He is young right. Wonder if he thinks there isn't a bird there anymore. Never had a dog that blinked but I would think that it takes a fair amount of pressure to cause it in a high drive hunting breed.

it does not take a lot of what some dogs perceive as pressure and many handlers never now the dog is blinking. they just think there was not any birds around.................Cj

Well said! So true, as to both pressure and blinking.

I have found that occasionally a broke dog that is just being "polished" knows that once the drill is over, its back on the chain gang. They still want to run around for awhile.

With this situation we are out hunting and In lots of birds. With her, it is more like, I have pointed that one and here is another for you. The pressure may have been me saying whoa, as I am coming from a ways off. I have changed that to , good girl, to let her know I am coming. She does turn her head occasionally to see if I am on the way.

Got it buddy! There are so many situations that can cause it. I needed to read your initial post.
