Recommended Answer:
Jessie is right. You shoot the bird, part of this training should also be the dog retrieving the bird. Flushing should come naturally, the had part is teaching a retriever to point, so he doesn't flush the bird out of your gun's range. Like Jessie said, use a wing on a string at first, so that he knows what he is looking for. You can't just go and catch the bird again, the gun shot needs to be part of the training, almost like a reward. Good luck.

How to Identify Good Dog Training Schools

• You shoot it. (the bird, not the dog)
  
  How else did you think this was going to work?
  
  My dad always trained our hunting dogs using a wing with a string on it.
