Thanks... I talked to a friend of mine, and he said to bring along some dog treats for my dog. You know... associate hunting with the "bang" of a shotgun, and the treats also become part of thehunt when she doesn't get scared.

Basically, just keep on taking her out as much as I can and work with her. Since she's 3/4 beagle and 1/4 german shepherd, she's got the hunting gene already in her. She runs in and out of the briars, thickets, and heavy brush and doesn't come out all stuck with stuff, which is great. In the field edges, she keeps her nose firmly pressed to the ground, like hunting just comes natural to her. [8D]
