Greg, I have a one yr old Brittany and trained him myself ( first time for
me ).  We hunted IL and Iowa, shot birds every week.  Charley did more
than I expected for the first year.  I used two books in my training
process, "Gun Dog" by Richard Wolters and "Best Way To Train Your Gun Dog"
by Bill Tarrant.  I have been hunting for 30 yrs. and this was my first
attempt at training a bird dog, and I could not have done it without the
books.  If you would like to give me a call, my daytime number is (708)
665-1114.  Gool Luck with your Brittany, Phil Pollard.
