re: Gun dog?

If you do the training, you will be limited to what you can teach, because of the fact you are by yourself, usually with very little equipment. A few drills aren't a problem, but with marking it is a huge problem. Usually the quick temper of amateurs is a big problem.

A pro has the equipment such as wingers that can get close to simulating a hunting situation for double and triple situations. Pro's know that each dog is different about handling pressure and time to recover pressure. It's like a coach knowing how to get the best out of his/her players.
