Friends:

At the recommendation of a friend, I purchased a few tools to train my dog...a whistle, a cap gun, and some pheasant scent for her canvas dummy.

My question is how do I put it "all together" to use in the field? Obviously, the pheasant scent goes on the dummy, but other questions arise:

How do I start her on the cap gun? How should it be introduced and used?
How do I properly use the whistle in the field?
How do I get her to find the canvas dummy when it has been blindly hidden in the field versus throwing it?

Thanks in advance for your tips and assistance. ~Kitsap
