Sounds like a great start for upland birds. Get her to hold first and let you get in range. Practice off the field with some dummies - place them and let your dog lead on a 50' leash - yank her and give the hold command until you get to the decoy. Then while sheis holding toss up the decoy andgive the retrieve command.

Iuse: BIRD to start the hunt, HOLD to stop the dog either to far out or on a scent, GET to flush the bird and HERE to retrieve. Any command wll work and try and use something different than you here in the fieldfromother hunters.
