He picked up on the scent right away and followed the trail in both directions and picked up the bundle of feathers I left. He sits, he whoas, he’s starting to fetch.
The thing I’m wondering is if I should be training him to fetch and flush as the same thing or try and separate it. The plan is to get him to fetch amd whoa in the area where I think he should point and then when he has that down work on the flush command with a bumper or bird launcher.
