re: Professional dog training ?

If his first trip afield is with a seasoned dog make sure the trainer knows this and teaches him to honor the older dog. Or that setter is gonna whip his azz and he will be forever scarred.
Like Hammer stated, get the trainer to go over the commands he plans on using and you need to spend time with the dog and trainer to go over everything you can think of and address any shortcomings. And you will need at least 4 mos w'a pro and then work at least 4-6x a mo yr round.
