I think you have the outline here as we all pretty much said the exact same thing. Now the "tough" part is actually taking the time with your dog and introducing birds and the excitement of hunting to her. I posted a link of quite a few bird preserves in TN (I think that is where you are from) that you can call and see if one of them will allow you to spend a few days working with your dog. Most of these guys will see you as a future customer and should allow you to work a green dog, and some may even be nice enough to help you out.

Good luck. Hunting with a good Springer is such a great expereince. They have such a sweet nature and strong desire to please, they are a joy to train compared with some of the thicker headed dogs out there!
