I purchased a 2.5 y/o GSP this summer that was supposed to be a turnkey dog that I can jump right in and start guiding on preserve hunts. Well needless to say I took the dog out alone to hunt and the dog just ran and never hunted. No formal training and never worked the field, just ran. There was no bond between us like there is now so I'm hoping I can now start working on training. I'm gonna start him like he's a puppy as he has no obedience training either. Is there any "programs" out there for pointing breeds or is it more a natural instinct that you hone? Btw this dog was purchased from a kennel that should be ashamed of the condition they gave this dog to me in. Most people said to send the dog back but I didn't have the heart to do that to this guy. Any input would be greatly appreciated
