We are the very proud owners of a new lab puppy. She is 14 weeks old and we have had her for the past 4 weeks. We are going ahead with the new commands such as good, no, sit, come, the basics. I am fully aware that she will not be ready for this seasons upland bird hunt. Is it possible for you experienced bird dog owners to share secrets and books with me to better train my pup for next year. We had to put down our 12 year old lab for cancer. He was never trained as a bird dog, but was a great family pet. As my 2 sons are now old enough to go out with me, a fourth partner would be of a valuable asset. Thanks in advance for all your help.
