What you can do is work 1 bird couple times, even if you do this just 1 a week, its ok gives dog time to think. You don't have to cram, dogs will get sour on that also. But this WILL work back into gun, and then into steadying of the dog, no offense, but your trainer for that kinda money should have had more done. Just leave gun at home, or DON'T LOAD!! hahahaha patience. This is one of the most common faults that i fix. This is the easiest way that i have figured out to do. It stays black and white to the dog. Yeah, if you want to stay in touch outside of here, My name is Dave Jones " Jonesy's Gun Dogs " 136 Red Lick Rd. Berea, Kentucky 40403. 859-985-2918 Any time!!
