I truly enjoy my two german shorthaired pointers, what a fun breed. Obedience is the most important training. After that, then you can move on to live bird training. I would recommend gettting a good dog training book. "Gun Dog" by Richard A. Wolters is really good, also anything by Bill Tarrant. You can find either on Amazon.com I also recommend reading a lot on the forums like www.gundogforum.com or <a href="http://bbs.pointingdogjournal.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bbs.pointingdogjournal.com/</a> Gun Dog Magazine and The Pointing Dog Journal are wonderful magazines for information. Better yet, find someone to mentor you. Join a dog training club like NSTRA, NAVDHA or AKC Hunt Tests. Puppy obedience classes are a great place to start. Good luck with your new puppy. All the best.
