Looking for a reputible trainer for my new pup. Would like to do a good deal of the training for her on my own; but am looking for a pro to do gun breaking, quartering and running bird training. I can afford about $1500.00 on her training. I have been looking on the internet and can find only about 3 trainers in the Co Springs area. Just wondering who you guys would recommend.
Also have a few more questions; when to itroduce to birds, what vet do hunters in Springs use (most seem like PETA type hippies here in town), where to buy her supplies, what training aids she may need early on etc..... . My list so far is a check cord, crate w/ cover, dokken quail dummy, lots of wings ( I have a slew of them in the freezer already), whistle, and bike for myself to take her on runs once she's big enough. Not sure about an e-collar; may want that to be trained by a pro as well.
Hope to have her in the field this fall; is that areasonable expectation? I'm really amped up about her and can't wait to pick her up on 2 March.
Thanks and Have a Good 'Urn,
