EJ,

One hour a day IMO is to long. I feel you can train for 15-20 minutes a day and that is plenty of time. The thing is you have to stop before your dog gets bored. Short time with good concentration is better then a long time with marginal concentration. One question is does the dog retreive to hand? If not make sure you work that in with come and whoa. Play and make it fun. The dog is still a pup mine is 2 yrs and it is just getting out of its puppy stage. Working on the dog to be steady you need live birds and a check cord start the dog quartering run him were the bird is planted( make sure it is dizzied) when the dog slows grab the check cord for allowing him not to grab the bird. Don't pull and slowly walk up check the cord. Now you can work on you dogs point carefully reposition him to the correct posture. I would recomend you go to the NAVHDA site and get the green book. It is a step by step book on how to work with a versitale dog. Work slowly with the pup and enjoy him.
