I was just trying to get a few opinions on my dog.

She has been with a pro trainer for 8 months . She is a heavily pedigreed dog . She went to the trainer at 5 months and my long term goal is masters or the grand .

Right now she is running singles  . She is also on pattern blinds and whistle sit .obedience is solid he says she is doing great but i have only gotten 3 videos in 8 months .

In others experiences is she ahead of the curve i want her to have her mh by 2 yrs old if possible.

Any information is appreciative

My ex-wife helped quite a bit in training my first golden. When I got disappointed, she would let the dog know how disappointed I was. It seemed to work. She got him to carry a rubber ball around for 10 minutes without dropping it and then of course I’ve trained them with fake ducks hidden in the yard in the bushes. He was one of the easiest dogs to train once she got a hold of him.

After training numerous ones by reading, watching, listening and developing what works for me, I would suggest doing it yourself too.  Everyone is different as is every dog, so be creative, adapt, but most of all have fun. In the heat like now, we play, swim and enjoy, always training.

Hug that hound for Rook and I and enjoy!!

Point I agree with you. 20 some years ago I got my first GSP pup man that was fun.

Kicken, I've trained every bird dog I've ever owned, I find training to be part of the fun.  Plus nothing gets you in the field like a young dog your trying to make a good serviceable bird dog out of.  There's tons of good videos out there and different methods but in some ways they are all similar.  Be consistent, daily 5-10 min training is better than long training sessions once a week.  Making training enjoyable for you and the dog.

Just wondering if anyone does their own training with their bird dog anymore? Or now days do you just hire it out to a trainer.
