tnwestes,.....you and your dog are a team!..were you are viewed as the leader, he should learn from YOU at this stage in life and you should make time for him,....I've been a NAVDHA member for 20 years and a NAVHDA judge for almost 15,... I see people in your situation all the time and I give them the same advice that was given to me "join NAVHDA, they won't train your dog but they will teach you to train it",....as you can see I took full advantage of it as did a lot of people I know, I met so many wonderful friends and my best hunting buddies, it truly changed my life,....I still see a fellow now and then that was not keen enough to get involved,....he's still looking for the right book!
