I have a 7-Month old FBECS. Good pup with a lot of potential. Joined a training group this summer in order to introduce the pup to birds. The bird introduction has gone well.
Also arranged for the trainer running the group to do the gun intro. This is where things have not gone well. The pup has began pulling off the chase when the gun is fired. The reaction is not a complete meltdown by any means as we can pretty easily get him back on the chase but he won't be huntable until this gets fixed.
Without going into details I've lost confidence in the ability of my current trainer to fix this issue. I have also called & emailed the breeder where I purchased the pup to see if he had any interest in working with the pup or advice on where to get help and have basically nothing to show for reaching out to him.
Long story short anybody have reccomendations on a good MN flushing dog trainer who has experience dealing with this type issue? I think in order to fix the problem the pup needs a structured step by step process and want to know whoever I hire to do it has the neccessary knowledge, resources and patience to pull it off.
Thanks in advance for any help.
