The dog never came around and in fact hasn't improved at all.
No offense Mr. Pilot, but these dogs are not built in factories. I can see your beef if they told you this dog was field ready with no additional work needed. I am in no way a professional dog handler, but I do realize that every dog is trainable. They require a lot of work. Daily reaffirmation of what they already know. Lots of exercise, and they need a job. It makes them happy when they have a job that when done will please you!
If the dog is of the hunting breed, and fairly young, all is not lost! You need to get yourself trained in the art of owning and training and maintaining a bird dog. I bet there are places in your area that can help the both of you.
If I had to guess, you own a beautiful intelligent animal with loads of potential. I understand that you did not get what you were expecting and I'm sorry for that, but maybe its time to move on to plan B.
