I'm in NE PA while I'm not a pro I have trained mnay dogs over the yrs.It would be hard to give advice without actually seeing the dog in action. If you'd like to contact me I'd be happy to look over whats going on with your dog.Also check your local Library.Get the book "The Complete Guide to training your Birddog" by John R Falk.This is a very good book and Discusses both of these problems and how to correct them.Take care Jackson..
