We got our GSP pup 2 weeks ago and he is now 9 weeks old.My question is on heneral training.I want to use him for hunting so what training should I be starting him on right now and what do I expect as the weeks progress?I bought one dvd but it was vague as to what age you should work on what and when to expect results.Thanks for any help and I am so glad to find such a usefull sight.

Hi and welcome.
While so much appears to be "easy and obvious" it really takes some knowledge.
GSPs are a "forgiving" breed - so you picked a good breed to learn with.
Hopefully, you have a dog that will teach you everything you need to learn about hunting.

What kind of hunting do you think you will be doing?

There is a great video by Ben Garcia, Hideaway Kennels, called "First Step"  It helped us out a lot!  You can find it at www.hideawaykennels.com.  and www.dogsunlimited.com.

Enjoy the new puppy


In my next life, I want to come back as my dog...what a life!

I will be using him for pheasnt and quail.They are pretty scarce around my neck of the woods these days but would love to start traveling to other states to hunt as well since the kids are getting older.He is doing pretty well at home so far,getting adjusted well.He is fantastic with my youngest son who is autistic as well,they have bonded very well so far.I will check out the video you recomended as well thanks for the advice .
