I’ve been working on getting my 1 yr old gsp steady to shot. I just feel like sayin f it and it is what it is. I don’t have pigeons. I have bob whites and use those the best I can. She whoas great at home with birds. She won’t move a muscle. They can fly or run and she won’t move. She whoas great out in the field. But as soon as your out in the field with birds. She’s like f you. I keep her on a check cord out in the field. And as soon as that bird flies or runs. She’ll try to take off. I can work with her daily and nothing ever changes. Wild birds aren’t an option unfortunately. I’m not experienced enough to use a whoa post or a barrel. At what point do you just say it is what it is. If I had money she’d be at the trainers. But that isn’t an option either.
 
Get the whoa down without birds. You say steady to shot but it doesn't sound like the dog is steady at all. Watch the perfection kennel videos on fb or youtube.

Is this her first hunt season at 1?
 
Plenty of time, keep your head up. Steadiness is a job for the offseason, shoot every bird that dog points, or puts a good track on. You have a great opportunity right now to show a one year old tons of wild birds this year, it’s irreplaceable. Don’t waste your energy on a small detail so early in her career!
