> > I have a 9 mo.old pl she is gone for 3 mo's for handeling training.The pro trainer is having a problem she is over eager and hyper .I never had this problem while training at home.She has only been gone for three weeks.She has done super in the field both pointing and retrieving.Could this be caused from being in the kennel all the time except for the training time? She lives in the house while at home. Could be change of environment or change of diet,

jere I am sorry I have not answered sooner but I did go get Sassy soon after and continued her training myself.I bought the lardy tapes and went that meathod.She is doing blind retrieves and handeling quite well.I am having a bit of a problem with her holding point she wants to jump in after 30 or 40 seconds.As far as retrieving she is super and a cripple will not escape her.she is not steady to wing and shot but I have not trained her to do so .So I have no complaints.If the bird stays put she will hold fairley well but if if starts to move at all she will jump in and flush it.I am going to to work on that over the winter.
