Professional dog training ?

Just made a 14 1/2 hour round trip to drop the pup (6 1/2 month) at his two month training before a South Dakota wild bird baptism.
If you have used a trainer, how good was your dog when you dropped off vs pick up? The trainer said the first month would be spent on basics (gun shots, here, kennel, whoa), all of which I have introduced, but he has not mastered yet. The second month is bird introduction, pointing, backing, steady to flush and retrieving to hand.

What type of dog...

progress really depends heavily on the dog...some have it, others don't...a good trainer can bring out all of the instinct and potential that is there, though. I have seen some remarkable changes as well as almost no progress...

With labs, I find there's still a learning curve, even after a full 6 months training. Hunting in the field is a whole different ball game than training, or even a hunt test.

A whole 2 months of training, good luck with that. Hunts will be a shite show

Did you look up any trainers in your local area?
No way I would ever drive 14 hours to drop my dog off. A big part of the training is being able to work with the trainer one on one with your dog, so you know the style of training he uses.
I sent 2 of my GSP's to Steve Riggins with Bear Creek on the Bayou Retrievers in Slaughter, LA, they were there for 4 months, and was very satisfied with how they worked when I got them back. He's only about an hour from Baton Rouge, so i was able to go to his place quite often and learned a lot about training dogs.
