    Would a bird pen close to a dog run effect either dog or bird. I'm in the process of building a dog run and was planning on building a flight pen to hold some birds for training but space is limited and they must be close together. Dogs will not be in pen all the much but will it effect the...

    Can tracking drills effect steadiness on point

    Im working on getting the pup steady on point. Im using the laumchers to do this. To break up training days and not repeating the same things every day would it be ok to start on some tracking drill (scenting up an area then dragging dead bird 50 to 100 yards away) for NAVHDA test. Any thoughts
