Hey guys,
Anyone know of any good trainers in Northern California for pheasant? Books or online coarse recommendations would be appreciated as well.

A little background, my dad is retired and wants to take up pheasant hunting again. He offered to buy a trained dog if I take care of it, but a third dog is out of the picture for me currently. I have a 5 year old lab that was a good duck dog, but I sold my boat 2 years ago and she’s been retired since then. She’s gun broke and will retrieve birds. I also have a 1 year old WPG with high drive, but she’s never been hunted. I’m currently getting her used to feathers and using her nose.

I’ve been working on the basics with both of them, but I’m lost when it comes to pointing and flushing.
