Does anyone specifically train with a Spouse or SO? Hubby often goes with me but we've never really trained alone, together before, and apparently we don't communicate well
Any tips not to kill each other or argue the whole hour home. Hubby tries very hard. Hubby is NOT a trainer and kind of misses the minor things someone else might notice! Here's how our day went:
First and probably last wife/husband hunt training session <VBG> Ran the dogs first. Did great. Went well. Got chukar. Thought we communicated. Walking in field, wife doesn't know where bird is, Hubby says Havoc won't find bird yet, we are too far away, wham, dog slams on point. Wife isn't ready. Wife hustles to get check cord. Check cord is under dog's body and if pulled tight will cut off dog parts. Must move carefully and fast to free check cord<G>. Hubby sees wife bend down, assumes she has check cord, flushes bird and blanks gun. Dog leaps. Wife drops check cord to prevent dog parts from being cut off...dog chases bird, training fail. Wife and husband decide it's not in their best interest to "train" together but just run the dogs! Dog has very much fun and wife and husband make it home without killing each other
