We are like most owners of competition hunting dogs. Between work and our daughter, it leaves us with little time for training. Pam and I make the most of it and have trained in small open lots near our old house, public land that we drove hours to use and in the backyard of a postage stamp lot where we used to live. Moving to the farm has given us the ability to do most of our training in the backyard, although we still travel to use a private hunt club and public training grounds. We try to get our dogs on birds every chance we get. You will often find Mark and possibly a few friends or new vizsla owners training their dogs in pop up training.

Mark has tried many of the training systems and found Dave Walkers training to work best for him. He also trains with many aspects used by Perfection Kennels. The most important part of dog training is consistency. Mark would like to thank Jerry Jordan and Dave Walker for their help learning the Walker system. We would also like to thank Jim Busch and Jerry Jordan for mentoring Mark along the way.
