Update on this pup.
I've decided to keep the collar in it's box until next year. Just letting him progress at whatever speed he wants. Everyone I've hunted with is impressed by his desire and ability. Taking that into consideration I think I'll count myself lucky and see what happens.
I've taken to carrying hot dog pieces and a whistle with me, appealing to his stomach to remind him I'm following him. Most times it's not needed but when his switch flips maybe that will sway him.
Do you guys call your dog in with "come", or simply command a general "check in"?
Enjoying both the pup and the boy. Next week....chukar!
