I have a 3 year old Brit that I have hunted with for 3 seasons. I worked with him vary hard for the first year on obdiance and simple commands, and after that we just went hunting andI didnt do much else with him (we hunt alot, grouse and woodcock). He has a vary good nose and good pointing instincts, but I have never refined them. Can I still work on this, and what are some good ways to do it.

I also want to teach him to fetch (he finds down birds but wont bring them back to me). Should I wait untill I have the pointing stuff down?

I was thinking about trying totake him to one of thosepheasant farms (we had a tuff year and didnt see many birds), I have heard that some times the dog can catch the birds, that cant be good for a pointer. Is there any truthto that?

Thanks for any input.

Ow yah I dont have a collar and dont have the mony to get one so that method is out.
