I've been trying to reform my wayward ways and get off the straight and narrow path to learn to field hunt and walk back and forth more. I realize I've not paid really any attention to the dog training threads here but I went out anyways and got as many of the big black ones as I could afford. I want to make sure I still get all my birds so I was thinking the more ground we cover with a bunch (herd?pack?) the better. They were plenty expensive and supposed to be purebred but I think I got taken.
They heel well all day long but for the life of me I can't get them to hunt out in front much and just ran back when the shooting starts. I vaguely recall a few threads that made it seem like keeping them from getting too far out was the biggest problem so I've got no idea what's gone wrong. I'll post a video if I can figure out how to get that to work and maybe someone can help an old ditch hunter ascend to a higher plain of hunting nirvana.
