Congrats on your new family member!
If there is no group near you to train with consider any one of a number of good books on training the versatile breeds. The book recommended to me by a breeder was, How to Help Gun Dogs Train Themselves by Joan Bailey published in 1993. So it's an oldie for sure. But it was a great assistance to us especially in starting with our pups and very easy to read and follow along. I am no pro but certainly pleased with how my dogs work. As you can tell there are a lot of pretty strong opinions out there. So I welcome others to chime in with ideas better or different than mine.
Good luck! Be patient!
