Just wanted to start a thread to gather some more info form other people. We all know that dogs flare and or drift. I know there are many things out there that will do that to our dogs but just wondering if anyone has factors that they add to setups that help dogs to push through them. I know of some such as shadows, cover change holding blinds, hills, and so on. Is there any that you guys try to factor into your setups on daily basis? Just wanting to pick everyone's brain.

Read Retriever Training Tests by James Spencer.

It is an easy to understand reference that will help you train for and recognize the concepts you will encounter at hunt tests.

Cows are a major nuisance. It's too bad they are so delicious.

You think cows are bad, try getting them near pigs. Horses freak out around pigs too.

Follow this link and download John Cavanaugh's "Mega Master Manual".
Not only is it loaded with "factor" info but it outlines lots of good stuff to do with your dog. Very useful info from John who hopefully will be nominated for induction into Retriever Hall of Fame this year. http://www.weebegoldens.com/John%20C/megamaster_manual.doc
