[QUOTE="lunkerslayer, post: 343180, member: 217"] Yep when I first went to training classes the first time 6 week class, I thought I was untrainable, Wilson is the best sitter ever but all he wanted to do was play a round and goof off. There were 8 dogs in my group 6 female and just 2 males. All owners were females and I was the only male, they would laugh at me because wilson just sit so he could get treats, I ended up doing another 6 week class session which helped, the things that suck are only a hour class for a 2 hr 40 minute round trip. It would take me atleast 15 minutes just to get him to settle down before he would actually start to listen. The bad thing was that I spent more money on gas then the actual class. He does get to go to worm with me so I do get to work with him on his obedience then I did this winter and miserable spring so far. I do have a question though, he does seem to be timid around loud noises at first vacuum cleaner or the thunder this weekend, he was actually shaken. My question is how to I go through testing him myself to see if he is able to adjust to being around gun noises. I would rather start off with a somethings less dramatic then gun shot or should I just go with a gun sound right away. I am bummed though somewhat worried he may never be a gun dog, I know it's kind of a crap shoot but when you spend a lot on a dog with a high pedigree, you are hoping he will great out of the box.
