What are some of the most often asked questions with respect to field training.

Regardless of whether you're new to fieldwork with a ton of questions yourself, or an experienced amateur or pro that has heard the same question asked a thousand times... which ones always seem to be at the top of the list?

Some of my favorites are:

"Why do I need to force fetch my dog when he's already picking stuff up?"
"Can I train my dog to do THAT if I get an e-collar?"
"Do I have to use birds?"
"What do you mean take him off-lead???"

Can I train my dog myself?
Can you help me?
How far is that mark?
How much does it cost to train a dog?
Just some of my favorites.

When can my dog come home.

*When you run out of money or he's done*

When can I stop using the collar.

* The day you decide you no longer want to have the ability to fairly enforce trained command instantly, at a distance and in a manner your dog understands.*

"How old should my dog be before I start.....(fill in the blank)?"

"How do I get my dog to come back to me with a bumper? He gets it and just wants to run all over the field until I get tired of chasing him."

"What is the best training video or book for a beginner?"

"Who is Mike Graham and Evan Lardy?" :D

"How do I get my dog to seat on a duck?"

Is your dog suppose to run the opposite way when you blow the sit whistle?
Are you sure he will come back?
Do you normally drive around and look for your dog?
Is it normal for the dog to hunt all over the field?
Was he suppose to avoid the cover?
Did you want him to run around that bank?
Do you always have laryngitis?
