What a fun dog to work with, Leo has been with us for the past 60 days for introduction to birds, gunfire and learning to retrieve. Here he is doing a triple with just the first bird being a marked flyer. Two items to point out he is a hunting dog not a test or trial dog and if you notice he is working without an E Collar. I really like how far this youngster has come in a short period of time. ENJOY!!

Very nice. But there is a time and place for an e-collar

Skyval. I agree with you and yes he has had one on. As a trainer though, if you want to impress me show me what your dog can do with out a collar on. When we send a dog home I want to show that the dog has been trained not conditioned to a collar. One thing I can't stand is you see someone post a great picture of a dog on point or something else spectacular and there is electronics hanging off its neck or worse yet their groin. That picture means nothing to me. When I hunt and guide my Pointers and Short Hairs they are collared. When I hunt my Springers or Poodle they are not because of the cover I hunt them in. And no I do not chase them or run after them they must listen and stay in gun range.
