I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog

About Chessies, Butch Goodwin of Northern Flight Kennels told me many moons ago " Son that Chessy of yours has more duck instinct than you and 6 of your best buddies combined, let him do his thing". That was a turning point in my training with mine at the time and it worked in volumes. Mine was more old school blood line and was certainly protective over my boat, kids, friends, women and my truck. If he didn't know you he would certainly let you know not to impede further.. A simple " he is ok toned him right down"
He took hand signal training quickly and the whistle as well.. redirection not so much and I can't tell you how many times he was right and I was wrong on where the bird had wound up but it was definitely in his favor. I stopped redirecting and letting him work without interference and it was night an day.
