I have a birittany that is 7 months old. Have gotten him into about 50 pigeons and 12 pen raised quail. Have taken him on two wild bird hunts in Oklahoma as well and killed a few birds for him. I am hoping to get him into some more wild birds as well but was wondering if anybody has any recommendations on trainers in OK or TX who can get the dog some more exposure and start building a foundation for steadyness?

Tim Hidalgo in Hardesty, OK is a great trainer. He also judges field trials and handles alot of trained dogs in field trials. He has done a great job for me and several of my friends. Good luck. Sounds like your pup is on the right track.

Rob is also a friend. He trains most of the NSTRA dogs in Texas. I'd wait until August to send the pup to any trainer, where it will be ready for next season.

Thanks for the input guys. Everybody having a good season so far? Birds aren’t as thick as they were last year in SW Oklahoma. Also probably at disadvantage when I hunt alone with a 7 month old pup.

Sounds like your pup is on the right track. Had no idea there was one in Hardesty. So he does upland dogs I assume? I may have to check that out. I tried to get my Brittany in with Ronnie Smith (ought to be the best) but they blew me off.

Rob did a great job with my setter Jack

I am hoping to get him into some more wild birds as well but was wondering if anybody has any recommendations on trainers in OK or TX who can get the dog some more exposure and start building a foundation for steadyness? It doesn’t take a genius to train a bird dog. You can do it yourself. It just takes a little time and dedication. You can save yourself a lot of change, and you’ll get a lot more satisfaction out of it. Put a whoa on that pup and he’ll steady up.

Delmar Smith said take the pup off of birds and don't put it back until it is completely broke. His wording was a little off but he nailed it.

A lot of folks send their field trial dogs to him. I've hunted behind several dogs he has trained and we bought a dog from him.
We all need to practice Whoa more.

Mike and Bonnie Pirtle do a great job. I bought and had my Brittany trained by them. M&W gun dog out of Alvord Texas.

What about Buck at Backyard Training Kennels in Van Alstyne? Does anyone have any experience with him? I've always heard good things about Buck, but don't know if he trains on wild birds. Most people that want a lot of wild bird contact, send their dogs up north for the summer. Its not the right time of year for that.
Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden. Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.
