Thread: Books on dog training dogs for deer???

Im Liking all the advice i am being given from you all... Thanks!

I have thaught of the "mentor" idea but i only know 1 person who hunts a dog, and the dog is gunshy. This is my first dog and relise that the dog will teach me more than i can it.
Today he taught me not to leave backsteaks on the shed bench when you run to the phone because like a magician he can make them dissapear!

I think im going to stop taking him into the bush (Hunting) for a few months now untill i can control his sudden urges to completely ignore me and run off into the distance where i cant reach his rope. He dissapeared for 20mins at one stage today! after most of the day being fantastic.

Kiwi training shortly... this will be intresting.
