There is a dude in the nelson area who posted some excellent info on deer dogs on the other forum he had a lot to offer but got the shits with the twats over there. I'm pretty sure his name was Eric. Ask about the hunting circles in nelson, you maybe able to track him down.
The 2 deer dogs I had were both GWPs, My approach was to keep them in on a rope until they were soild and let their instincts lead them, there were plenty of errors early on but we got there.
