Thats not that anyone said here Tussock.

I am a mere novice; I learn by reading too. But I learn even more from seeing people doing it - as they say, proof is in the pudding. I am lucky enough to have a couple of people I would consider mentors who have been, or still are at the top of their game. Having read your recent posts, where is this coming from? Is this quoting someone else, or have you come these conclusions after of trial and error? How many dogs have you trained to completion to do a complex task like gundog work successfully? And perhaps, more importantly, how many have you buggered up?
