DocE, good points to consider. I'm not going to go into them all in my reply, but I value your input. I work her with Fresh killed and frozen birds every moring and evening. I have not been as diligent with the obedience as I should have. As to the gun, I have not been able to use a gun in daily training due to location so I am thinking she is less accustomed to the gun and live hunting and the excitement is getting to her. You bet the next hunt my partners will love me because they will get to do all the shooting. My dog will get 100% of my attention. Thanks for the things to work on.
