I just spent a bunch of money on a gps collar for my pups first trip to the field and found that it was unnecessary, at least for now. If he continues to check in like he did, I'll be happy. I want him to hunt as far as he needs too, so long as he's hunting for me.
This was a good read, and I bust out laughing at your statement; "consulting an Audubon bird identification book – stop and let him search the area before pushing on." Thanks for sharing
Great advice on handler speed and direction when working cover with young dog.
I did the quartering training with my Griffin and she hunted close and hard in AZ..thick or open she stayed in sight and we killed a lot of birds

Excellent article. This will help me to get my Griffon to hunt within gun range.
