FAQ
Quick answers for this step and how it fits the 90 day starter plan.
What should I expect in the first real season?
Mistakes. Chasing, bumped birds, and messy contacts are normal. Your job is calm guidance and protecting confidence.
How do I prevent gun shyness in real hunts?
Prevention starts earlier with gradual distance exposure. In season, keep first shots controlled and avoid overwhelming the dog.
Do I need an e collar in the first season?
Not for the plan itself. It can be used early for safety if a dog panics and bolts. The priority is prevention and calm exposure.
How do I stop blaming the dog when things go wrong?
Assume the dog is showing you a gap in repetition, consistency, or setup. Fix the inputs and the dog improves.
