Hi im finally able to get a dog (dont have one yet) but i have no idea how to train it and was wondering if there was a dog training club or something around the tricities area. I dont want to buy a dog and not be able to train it to its full poteitial. It will mostly be for upland and maybe a tiny bit for ducks. Thanks
i really dont know what kind of dog im getting my wife wants me to get a chespeake bay retreiver but i dont know how well of an upland dog that would be and thats the majority of what i would be hunting. i think i want a flusher ive heard that there a bit easier to train but it has to be a family dog and good around kids as well.

If you're interested in a Chessie don't buy one until you talk to me. There are only a couple good Chessie lines in Washington. I'll steer you in the right direction. Any dog can outlast you when hunting upland. Keep them watered and take breaks. Thats all. Anyone who can out hunt their dog has bigger problems than their dog not being able to keep up. IF you dog is worked regularly and in good shape you'll never out hunt it no matter what the breed.
