Sounds like you have a fun place down there in South Africa. We work with a lot of young pointing dogs and I recommend the <a href="http://www.hideawaykennels.com/dog-training-videos/" title="First Steps dog training DVD" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">bird dog training DVD "First Steps"</a> by Ben Garcia at Hideaway Kennels. It is the very best training DVD I have found for getting young dogs started on the right track. The DVD will answer many of your questions. I think the most important thing is to socialize your new dog. Introduce him to as many new people, terrains, situations as you can. This should be fun times and all positive with no correction. I call it exploring the world around you. Hope this helps. Leon, Thanks for the email. Sounds like you have a fun place down there in South Africa.

Im in the hunting industry and just got my English Pointer. His name is Remington. I have a Jack Russel terrier whose hunted with me since I got her, and is really well trained( I trained her myself) Seeing that pointers are such delicate dogs, I would like any advice on how to start to train Remington. He is a very shy dog, and I first want him to feel at ease with his surroundings, and the other dogs at home. Any advice. My email is hunt@thaba-mahaka.co.za. Regards, Leon Hi Guys

I have a couple I know that adopted a herding dog that bit someone trying to herd them and possibly being protective. They don't want to put her to sleep but have had no luck finding someone who works with these dogs. They would like to place her in the right hands if possible. They want to have children and this dog is probably not a good idea to have. Her mother breeds Welsh Springers. Anyhow, they are looking to put the dog down sometime this week. If you can..please help. Hi there,
