RE: training question
Mite brings up a good point in the second paragraph about dogs' energy. My GSP's are usually wound up tighter than a rubber band before we get to our spot. So I'll let them out of the kennels and make them run in the OPPOSITE direction of whereI intend to hunt. I just let them run out as far as they want within eyesight and then they usually turn around on their own and come straight back. It's our drill, so to speak, and takes the edge off of them a bit. But, depending on where you hunt (i.e. if no open fields) this might be hard to do. Just thought I throw the idea out there for you!
