You think that you’re not a dog trainer, but if you own a dog, you are. While you might not get paid for your skills at molding lunatic teenage Labs into pheasant hunting machines, you have an obligation to train your personal dog. Even if you outsource some of the big stuff to a pro, like gunfire or live bird introductions, you’re still responsible for most of the training.

Let me make this clear–professional dog trainers are almost always worth the money. If you need help with the basic foundational work, are cagey about gunfire intro, or just want someone to untangle the canine mess you’ve created, the pros know how to do it. But, remember this: They have their specific methods. They have ways of communicating commands that are largely specific to them. And, whatever work they do to get your dog polished up will last only as long as you do your part.

Bird dog choice hinges on a lot of factors. How skilled are you at training? What environments do you tend to hunt in? What’s your quarry of choice? The answers to these questions, and about a million more, can usher you one way or another on the path to a specific breed. Upland hunters all have their reasons for going with one dog breed over another, but the group as a whole is generally split into two factions.

We all know that once a deer hits the ground the real work begins. Typically, our options for a getting our venison back to the truck are pretty simple—drag it out or quarter it up and haul it out piece by piece. However, there is a third option. You can carry the deer on your back. I learned this...
