Join a local field trailaffiliated club. Even if you aren't planning to enter, they are a great resource. Most are dog knowledgable people and are willing to share what they know. Some offer free trainning sessions. Clubs suggestions: NSTRA, NAVDIA, Amateur Field Trailers of America, U.S Shooting.

Also, read up on a good book/training program so atleast you'll know the terms when they're explaining something to you.

I was wondering, does it come from pointing labs background? If so, they should point instead of flushing.
