Thanks for the encouragement. I've printed off the pertinent pages for my husband to consider. There is a club at Horicon Marsh, and my husband hunts there already. The treas. lives in the town the next over. I can't believe we haven't heard about this before.
Give the club people a call! I have found that everyone in our club is just great. Here's a picture from one of our training sessions just over a year ago, as the Shellster and I were just getting started (you can see that I didn't own a heeling stick or even anything in camo except a silly hat. The training collar was borrowed on the spot from the nice blond lady with the black Lab.)
