Step 1-Wait until your buddy has blown his whistle and thrown hand signals for 5 minutes trying to get Ribbon Dog to pick up bird on the edge of the decoys. Best delivered when the owners anger and frustration are optimum.
Step-2 Throw a shotgun shell for the dog to mark the duck.
Step-3 Dog retrieves duck.
Step-4 Tell dog owner, "see that was easy didn't even need hand signals"
Step-5 absorb the full hatred and disgust your hunting partner may unleash upon you.
Step-6 Find a new hunting buddy with ribbon dog and start over at step 1.
There you go, that's how you convert a ribbon dog 1 shotgun shell at a time.

I have both a ribbon and "rock" dog. If your dog was capable and you put in the time to train it yourself or put in the time to keep your dog trained up properly after if was sent off for training(this is a step the majority of ribbon dog owners don't do)......What would you rather have?
A dog that marks properly, retrieves to hand, takes hand signals on blinds or a dog you have to throw an object the majority of the time to get it to mark the bird?
