Thanks for all the great diagrams/explanations/ideas. This was our first Water training of 2013, a refresher. Temps were mid-50's, and water temps were still low so we didn't want the pups in the water for an extended time.
We did not have flyers that day, but if we did, I would have put them at the short gun. We run a mixed bag of dawgs in our group. I had two objectives; look past that short gun, don't cheat the middle bird, get in that water.
Our Training Group runs primarily AKC HT. The master level dawgs did a fairly good job at remembering their skill set, some needed a bit of refreshing. The memory bird in the cover gave up some gorilla hunts, even with the wind.
