    Did that guy you were given the contact of the thread you posted before give you much good info?

    Also, twoshotkill, there is a short section in Red Deer in NZ by Lentle and Saxon which should give something to start on. If you've got the time, join your nearest gundog/GSP club; I'm sure that you'd get some help there. I think the one up here in Auckland puts on training courses.
    Yeah nah bro

    well you stop it from doing the things it wants to do ,,,, by making it do the things you what it to do ... the dog does not want to please you, it wants to please itself

    don't correct the dog for pulling the lead at max tension , you need to correct it the second it slow creeps

    is your dog a pointer of some kind ??
