6 mo is not to young, I have people here at 3-4 mo, to get started, you can teach alot more ...I feel as young dog, because they are little more dependent on you, and are not trying so hard for thier selves...Yardwork should be done mainly in the field, minor in the yard....why teach it twice, as you said doesnt pay attention in the field?? You think how the dog would be reacting if ya started couple months ago, you could have alot more work done as far as the foundation stuff goes. The dog sounds like he needs the pointing work tightened up, maybe carded pigeons, or pen raised quail, try and build from that, dont let him catch, when he points, you control the action, he wants to bump, let him, but give him no cc to run after, so the best way to say is to give him enough cc to bump but not chase, he will have to stnd and watch fly, it will take some sessions, but it will happen, he will all th esudden start to stand and point longer.....walk in from the side instaed of the back, to flush. Just takes time. It will happen. Thanks Jonesy
