Safe gun handling is the most important thing!!
Other than that I would only say:
Do not give the dogs any commands
Only take retrieved birds from dogs when instructed to by handler
Do exactly what the handlers say
Have Fun

Practice taking the gun off safe while mounting your gun, over, and over, and over again. The gun must be on safe unless you're about to shoot it.
Always be aware of the location of your companions, dogs, vehicles. You must always point your gun in a safe direction at all times.
Unload the chamber, locking back the action, whenever you negotiate difficult obstacles, like barbed wire fences.
Enjoy what I believe to be the ultimate recreation, but always do what you do safely.
