Busting Myths About Bird Dogs

Ron is back at Black Creek Training Center to talk about myths: what to do and what not to do with your bird dog. Many old sayings become local fact or sometimes the gospel according to Saint Dog Trainer. Most of these do come with a grain or two of truth. Covered are whoa posts, picking pups, field trial, neutering, steady training, old dogs teaching young dogs, and never train your pointer to sit. Along with a few random stories of the field, and the myth of all myths, "My dog never lost a cripple."
