I live in metro denver, It takes about an hour to get to my training area when the traffic is good. When we get out there to work I want to spend some time at the training grounds. I only have two dogs, a seasoned dog and one going through FF right now, so only one dog to work right now, soon it will be two. I will usually work him for like 30-45 minutes, and then put him up.

how long should I let him rest between workouts. Would an hour be enough? I just hate driving an hour to do a half hours work, especially with gas prices.

I will place a poll.

In any given am or pm, training session IMHO a dog has about 6 good retrieves in them. After that the dog needs several hours of rest & relaxation.
I've had dogs pick up 70-80 birds at a circle shoot but that is not training.
