well my pup who is no longer a pup is 6 years old. been retrieving ducks since day one. had him since college up in montana. dog has retrieved God only knows how many birds.
im not a good trainer by any means ive just been blessed to have a smart simple minded dog that picks up on things rather quickly.. hes more like a little person than a dog.

my question though, everytime we are out hunting yes hes watching for birds and sees them most of the time before i do, but when i raise my gun he watches and waits for it fire before he looks out ahead.

in the field trials and hunt test world it seems like this would be a problem for him. anyword on how to correct this and keep his attention out ahead?
