If you're as confused as a cheerleader in a library about what to with your canine companion, let me offer you some direction.
The foundation of any training regimen is basic obedience.
So whether your going to develop a field trial phenom or just a dog that will accompany you on morning jogs, at the heart of any training structure is basic obedience.
Sure, different training regimens incorporate obedience differently, but when you boil it down, all hunting dogs should be well-mannered gentlemen and ladies.
