I have to make a decision on if I am going to use a local trainer or Anderson Ranch Gundogs which is ~8 hours away. The local trainer has 20-30 dogs at anyone time and the other trainer only takes 8 dogs at a time. Clearly the nonlocal trainer would be able to give her more time and attention. With cost being the same besides traveling to and from of course, what would you do? I don't know a whole lot about the other trainer but they have very good dogs and have produced numerous champions. I am concerned that if I go local she wont get the attention she needs if she doesnt fit in "the program".

What would you do?

Wait, you got another GSP?

I will also sit in this thread and see. I am probably going to send my dog out this year, and your results will help me make my decision

What my dad would do with his GSP's is send them up to his buddy who lives in Montana during the summer for a couple of weeks. Wild birds everywhere, it's crazy how fast they can learn when you let them loose and allow them to do their thing. He started all of his pups like this, great way for them to build a nose.
