Default RE: Training a pointer

[quote][ As for gun shyness, what do you all do other than shoot around her? Will small firecrackers work such as blackcats or something? /quote]

I would advise not to use this stuff until she is on birds for a little while. You have to be carefull getting your dog use to noises and I find it best while they are on the birds. I think with the excitement of it all they tend to ingnore the noise more. Good Luck!

PM me your mailing add and I will send you a wing, I have a pen full of them I use in training.
