RE: ?'s on German short hair training
My hunting paqrtner trains a lot of GSP. He never heats them up till there around 5 or 6 months. Primary use is for bringing them back in. He prefers a close working dog and only lets the finished dogs get rangey. We usually precede the collar work with check cords. And encourage that natural ability a lot before the collar is ever used. Birds are very important right now at this stage for your pup.
