Forget about hunting and focus on BASIC OBEDIENCE! Otherwise you have no business even letting your dog off the leash, let alone taking it hunting.
She is very obedient with everything else. It's just when she puts the nose to the ground and smells rabbits or any birds it's game on and that's what I need to correct. I was asking for opinions on how you guys fix that problem with yours dogs? How to get them out of he hunting mood and listen to what you ask.
Your goal isn't to get her out of her hunting mood. Drive is good.
Your goal is to get her to handle.
Hey, if guys can train Pointers bred to run off horse to handle in the woods on foot without an e-collar it is doable.
