Need some advice from a more experienced trainer

[EvanG]

A pro trainer told me "if you take the fun out of training and make the dog be 100% forced to do something, yes they might do as told but just like a child prodegy they are extremely educated but I'm sure theres not much fun being had." I want my dog to have fun and enjoy hunting with me instead of working for me!

Sounds like a good pro.

This oh, so, true. Just ask any first time trainer that goes through handling with the desire for perfection.
