re: Professional dog training ?

He's a wire haired pointing griffon.
Trainer said he would know after the first month if "this dog will hunt." He said he would tell me to pick him up and not waste the money for more training. After he met the pup and we spoke about what I have done, and more importantly, not done with pup, he was encouraged. He said most pups which do not take well to training have been started poorly. I'm not looking for dog to be entered/ compete in hunt tests etc, so my expectations are not too high.
