I ended up using my breeder for help on training. He is located in San Jose, illinois. It is about 2.5 hrs away. My dog is there now and the progress seems to be great. I wanted to find someome close to help me train the dog but had no luck. I get to go work with him in about two weeks. I will keep you posted. He is located on here as gun dog breeders. I have been very impressed with his stock and what ge has done with the dog.
