looking for advice: training a lab pointer

[Aprilfools]

I would second Julie Bates as well, I will say her concepts are hard to grasp but I know this, the walk every day bonded me and my pup on another level in the field.Within the first week I had my pointing lab walking in fields and just let her figure it out and its magic if you without persuading your pup the connection we have without any command or persuasion creates a wild bird machine.I also used some things from a few others,Standing Stone,David Mork with Sauk River and a few podcasts.

I have had numerous conversations with Julie over the years. Once you spend time with her on the phone or in person at a training session or hunt test, you immediately realize the amount of knowledge there to tap is out of this world. She is an amazing person that is kind, thoughtful, and gives her knowledge and experiences, freely.
