I have been doing a lot of work w/ my pointer this summer. its been slow but am seeing progress.
all the bird work ive been doing has been on the check cord, cause he's not too good w/ holding.
so the last few weeks ive been working on him w/ quail in the woods instead of fields. so a few times when we would start to get close, the bird would run on us. now i know if i want them to hold better dizzy them up more, but i want to know how should i work him in this case cause im sure it will happen w/ wild birds. now what he's been doing is he catches fresh scent and starts searching around and ill spot the bird out in front running away, so i just lead him off on another bird that i have out. what should i do in this case??
