This is a good way to teach him bad habits and or freak him out. He needs to be obedience trained and introduced to the gun before you start taking him in the field. You stand a chance to make him gun shy. He's just way too young to bring to the field.

Buddy, just cause he don't do the same stuff as you with his dog don't mean there is no way what he's doing is right....geez man relax I'm sure he has this...I trained my yellow lab different from anybody ever and he was hunting at 8 months....made his first live retrieve on rocks at 5 months...
