I have trained all my dogs, two setters and 3 labs with 22 blanks while they were working birds. First about 30 yards and working up till I was right behind them. The trick is for them to be concentrating on birds when you shoot and to start small, .22s or primers. [Linked Image from i.postimg.cc] [Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

The more I get to know people, the better I like dogs, life is short, eat dessert first.
