During that summer while taking a summer internship, he would take periodic breaks throughout the day working with Sadie. She loved to sit, heal, play fetch, carry sticks on walks, etc. one thing was for sure her favorite thing was to go swimming at the lake and retrieving bumpers. After a few times watching her go out to a bumper, with shoulders bulging out, ripping through the water, the drive she had for retrieving opened Carson’s eyes.

That's when he realized he had the responsibility to make her into a bird dog. Funds weren’t necessarily all that in abundance, thus his only option was to train her himself. Not having access to a ranch, and having to ensure the development of the best gun dog he'd ever own, his only option was to utilize public hunting land. The average hunter will understand that hunting public land isn't necessarily the easiest. Getting through a moderately decent dove season, duck season came around and he purchased his first two-dozen decoys. Through hours and hours of research, countless times waking up at 3 am, an additional dozen decoys, and two mojos later, all to end up empty handed, Carson and Sadie could not figure out what was wrong for the life of them.
