RE: Gun Shy
I like what Doc E posted, you need to add a n and drop a l, and it will put you there.
I also like what Jonsey posted as allowing your dog to "catch a bird" willbuild a more excited drive. Also will get your dog to sneak in allowing you a closer flush. Keep all loud noices away from your dog for a while and work on the drive more. Then slowly bring in some low noices and add from there. Good Luck
