- Start by quartering Larsen with no game on the ground. Let him find himself and create a pattern. After a short romp, hup him and toss a bumper for him to retrieve after steady. Try tossing / stopping him a few more times without sending him for the retrieve.
- Set up about 20 yards in front of a tree line (the goal line). Larsen is at the 20. I'm at the 10. The bird is at the 12 yard line. Someone holds the check cord. I call Larsen to me. He finds & flushes, and I sit him (and stand between him and wherever the bird flew off to). No shot fired.* Move away from him, stop and then call him to me. Make sure Larsen flushes through the bird before trying to stop him. Don’t forget to “tap” the stop whistle as I move toward him. The person holding the cord should never yank on it. Only hold it tightly. Throw a distraction retrieve for him.
- Repeat #2 if Larsen gets another turn.
- Chorus line (pass-shooting) with one or more dogs.
* No shots fired until Larsen is steady at the flush. Then we'll move to being steady to the gun.
