Sorry fellas, I am new to this forum..

One a good note, after 6 days of this training, in my yard, in town, she is picking up the burlap bumper with the wings and bringing back to hand... the past 5 days all she wanted to do was lick the thing. I am going out Tues. to get here on more live birds. I was concerned when she would not pick up the wings, but would all the other things I threw. I have 3/4 of an acre and within 30 sec. she is finding the bumper anywhere in the yard. She is excited when I kennel her now, she knows she is going out to find the bird. She runs the yard like she should looking for the bird. After 6 days I think she is improving more than the last 7 month I have had her. I feel the live birds will be the thing that keeps her interested. I know she has it in her, I just need to make it happen..

I have read the 10 min. training book cover to cover and quite a few videos, I always feel that I missed a lot of opportunity not having her the first 5 months. With a little help and guidence, I feel this is going well.

My Setter is laid back... I think I will have a hard time keeping here awake in the blind!!
