Even if you aren't planning to hunt the dog a lot, obedience is the foundation of all hunting programs and training can be really fun and rewarding. It can also make you want to put your head through a wall.

Will probably never hunt a day in his life but I really want a well trained dog so thanks for the recs. I'll pick him up right at 8 weeks and want to be able to hit the ground running with that first week off of work with him
