I'm gonna say something and I really hope you understand it. Your new to hunting, you said so yourself, your handle is meant to show that. You ask plenty of questions and that is wise, but I have to say. You don't seem to listen to a lot of folks answering your questions. You want to do too much too soon. Learn the basics, learn the animals you want to persue. Really don't recomend getting a dog in hopes of training it when your still learning. Especially if you where intending to use a shock collar as a teaching aid. You don't fully understand the things you need to teach it, and a dog don't need to be shocked because you don't know what your doing.
