No

Yard Work is step 3 or 4 (Depending)
To Fix This Problem.
Stop Everything
No Birds No Nothing for a few weeks or Months.
Restart in October or November
1. Put Dog In field with Birds. No Presure, No Gun.
Point, Knock, Chase, Whatever they do just so they are having fun and finding alot of birds.(2 weeks Min.)
When the dog holds steady for you to shoot a bird.
Shoot It
Repeat this for 2 weeks.
Now start the yard-work
Then Do something different
Field-Work and Yard-Work are required differently by different dogs.
Sometimes once a week for some everyday for others.
Never work the dog so much that he becomes goofy. Some can only handle this once a week.
Learn Your Dog.
If you have a bad training time.
Put the dog up and do somethingelse.
Never continue something negative and always try to end with a positive.
