dog training

[fabsroman]

If you haven't done so already, you need to pick a system and get a book and follow it until you run into a problem.

When you run into a problem that isn't addressed by the book you are using, you can look at other books to see if they hold the answer or you can see if somebody on here knows the answer.

First question, will the dog be used mostly for retrieving (i.e., waterfowl), or will it mostly be used for upland hunting?

The main place to start is with the sit command and the other basic commands. Sit is easy to work with without the use of a book. The Come command can be a little involved, so you might want to follow the instructions in the book.
