Training a 4 month old female right now. Mainly obedience stuff on and off check cords. She's a retrieving machine. Will be moving on to training with the shock collar soon(right now she's training with the collar on her but with the power off) and then into the field with dead/live birds around April.
"Kate" will be primarily an upland hunter. So we are training this spring with a local club in the spaniel/flusher group.
She is the biggest training challenge I have had of 7 dogs. She wants seriously to be the alpha and is super smart. Drives my wife nuts. Unbelievable prey drive too. I have my work cut out for me on this one. Her potential is incredible.
