Cool, pigeons should work, you only need to work 1 birdat a time, give dog a day or two off go back to field. I'll let you follow what they have got to say, then if there's a problem still, maybe we can talk, or I will help you try to fix your dog. IF you have ANY question, you ask the guy thats gonna help you, you guys talk before you go and work the dog. This has your mind open to what will,or could probably happen. If you feel unsure in your mind, about what he is going to do, don't do it. It isbetter to be safe than sorry. There is alot of different ways to attempt to correct problems, it just takes time to figure out what is best for the dog. You understand?? Feel free to call or e-mail, Thanks Jonesy 859-985-2918
