So if you want her to be a duck dog Sean, you better get her some webbed feet.

What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone

Good start. Eebees is right about them learning manners this way, but they the real training for this and control will come much later.
Try not to repeat ANY command. Give the one sound you want the pup to associate with the action and then correct, or if still teaching the meaning... push the back end down so it does it after being told once. This is not just so you don't always have to repeat commands but it stops the pup from being confused. Because they don;t speak any language and only associating sounds with an action it is crucial, to get a well trained compliant dog to be very resolute in this.
Let me explain a bit more why this is so important. The dog doesn't learn a word.. just a sound associated with an action. "Sit" or "Sit, Sit", or "Sit, Sit, Sit" is three different sounds to a dog, because there is only a sound, not a word. To expand on that I use a single tone whistle with my adult dogs. There are only three commands. One peep is "stop", two peeps is "turn and hunt the other way" and three peeps is "Come here". The whistle only makes one tone and sound and yet it means something totally different depending on how many times it hears it. In the human world repeating a word reinforces it, in the canine world it confuses.It is difficult to win an argument with an intelligent person! It is near impossible with a stupid person!
