RE: First Time Out with My GSP
Happy Holidays Everyone,
Well, I have been working with my GSP for about an hour every night since he has come home from the trainer. Heel, whoa, and come are the three things that I have been working on. Living in suburan Chicago is tough though, I do not have easy acess to live brids, so steadying him to on point is not easy. Does anyone have an recommendations regarding steadying a dog to point without live birds or even if that is possible? I was thinking about getting a dokken dead foul training aid and using pheasant or grouse sent on it. Using some fishing line I would make the "bird" move around while holding him on point... Is that a good idea or no? I know that Live birds are the best, but I am thinking for training purposes...
