Train your bird dog during the season: why and how; and what he’s getting you for Christmas

It's mid-season. Would your dog say you've gone off the rails? Would you say he's gone with you?

We'll address some of the ways to train during the season, relate some common situations, and offer some suggestions. So will you - telling us about your dogs, your issues - and hopefully, we'll get to some answers. Plus, your dog's Christmas wishes - and your own - whether you're on the naughty or nice list.
