RE: Family dog question (Hunt or not hunt?)
Agree with Jimmy - Obedience training - sit, come, stay.....for both on and off lead. If you let her off lead and she bolts and will nto come back your obedience training is not complete.....don't need no e-collar or tracking collar.....
Mow for field traing jsut use a 30 ft check cord which is nothing moe than a nice stout rope atached tot he dogs collar. This gives you a 30 ft chance to catch her out int he field and make your obedience corrections.
