And what I mean buy that is walk trough brambles and heavy cover entice him to follow you but not on a lead , and give directions with your hand ul find soon enough u don't need to be in the cover just on the out side of it

I personally would take on board every thing a true hunter tells me and take that info into a Context take I can use. Personally and TBH I have given away dogs that have not made the grade. Some guys find it hard other not so. I remember a dog that some one I should have trusted told me not to keep any more, but I did. In the end i had to lose him. Lovely dog but just did not make the grade. Hunt heavy cover and tired easily. The dog I own now is from one of the most intelagent, hard hunting dogs I ever owned. First time I seen his father I thought where is this guy going with this mut. No papers, kinda sloppy and obedient half the time but I feel would never ever leave a bird behind. He suited what i done and hunter. i guess a trail guy may laught at him but then again how many woodcock does a trail guy hunt the type of land i hunt. If that dog hunted cover you could be 99% sure no bird, woodcock, Pheasant for me, would be in there. Any way I am sure if any one Here went with each other hunting an enjoyable day would be had. Some days I go out and only shoot one or two, if any! Birds. And enjoy the day. That's what it's all about. The day, the dog, the gun, the company, the weather the location. It is a long and gradual learning curve to be enjoyed, Frustrating as it can be. If I could pick every bit of advice from, trailers, rough shooters, driven day guys, books, I would have the best gun, dog and shot in the land, Unfortunately I can't, I do the best I can, likewise do the best you can, it's a learning curve. First post in hunting. BTW so hopefully all get my meaning and I don't get slated! Safe hunting!
