George Bird Evans "Troubles With Bird Dogs" is a great training program
Or do a search on Delmar Smith

if you decide on a trainer Springfield Kennels west of Port Huron did a great job with my Griff pup this summer.

I believe I used Delmar Smith's book while training my first setter, Sport around 50 years ago. It was a small paper back book.

Get involved with a club which focuses on your breed/type of dog. I learned an awful lot by listening and watching men who were much more knowledgeable than I

Thanks, my English setter Willow will be turning 5 years old in January, I got her just as I was really starting to get involved in upland hunting. She has turned into an "ok" bird dog, but I feel like she could of been so much more had it not been for my poor training. That's not to say that I haven't had some great times with her, I really have a lot of fun and enjoy anytime I'm able to take her out. I've been thinking a lot about a new puppy lately, probably spring of 2019, and want to be 100% committed and do a good of job as a possibly can.. Not sure yet if this means hiring a trainer or what.
