I know this is a year late but I just noticed for the first time that I had notices. Pretty silly of me, but I appologize for not getting back to you on your pups training. I love the GSP's and spoil mine. They live in the house and have a dog door to go outside in a large fenced area. I think when they live with you they develop a very tight bond and will hunt their hearts out for you. I know mine do. We are a hunting pack! As for training I assume you have already done a buch, but never stop. Also just let the dog hunt and don't constantly brow beat a dog to stay too close all the time. Mainley work on manners and obedience in the field when on birds.
