he's eatin that maximum puppy chow. seems to be good for him. he sure is a fireball, seems like I really got a ton of work to do. Kinda wonder what a trainer would charge? however I also would like to keep a good one on one relationship with him, and probebly wouldn't afford the trainer.. It would be interesting though to see him on some live birds like you said.

Make sure your feeding him the "Large Breed Puppy Food" untill he's about a year oold...  then switch him to adult feed.

Pro Trainers around here would run you about $650.00-$750.00 a month plus the cost of birds. You'll get much more satisfaction doing it yourself.
