Welcome
Occasionally, I will offer a finished dog for sale. They will be advertised on Gun Dog Central.
I defined a trained dog as.
Steady to Wing Shot and Fall. Retrieve must be to hand. I prefer to encourage a natural retrieve, but will force break when needed.
A finished dog honors another dogs point.
A dog not trained to this level is not finished. Quite often these dogs are referred to as "started". My perspective is a dog is either trained or its not.
The tools I use to achieve this are simple. Carded feral pigeons that I trap, and sweat equity working dogs on a check cord.
I have a Facebook page that I post training progress and updates on occasionally.

I will always be grateful to Bill Gibbons, Bill West and Mike Jones.
An old, but good video of Bill West explains the training concept I use.

Thank you for looking.
