It is best to breed for rolling out naturally...test for it in pups...

When around three months old load them up straight to the dog box, you want them fresh wanting to do something...take pups to open woods and turn them out...hopefully some will roll out like they have done it all their lives...if they haven’t left out just sit back and relax and give them the chance to roll out...if after a while no go then slowly walk along and they should follow and then you stop so they have a chance to get bored...and if they roll out wait on them to get back and then move 200 yards and repeat...

With grown dogs that should be going on their own...you can do them the same as the pups but hold back the dogs that roll out or leave them at home...if holding back the dogs that roll out have someone stay with them to keep them quiet...

it is best to turn out one grown dog every now and then just to make sure they don’t get used to partnering up...sometimes if we don’t have that many hunting spots we tend to turn out 3 or 4 dogs each time and as a result then partnering up can become a problem...

Sometimes me too dogs can bring something to the table like stopping power...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
