During this seminar we will teach bird dog owners essential behaviors each bird dog needs to know and how to begin developing those with their dogs.
Core Bird Dog Behaviors we will focus on:
Go With You
This Core Behavior begins with a good loose lead heel, progressing to an off lead heel, and then to going with you at a distance in the hunting field. The mindset of Going With You is one of the early indicators of a dog joining up with you.
Come To You
Every dog needs a solid recall, which is also the foundation for a good natural retrieve.
Stand Still
The ultimate challenge for bird dogs is the Core Behavior of standing still, particularly in moments of excitement. This includes standing still on point, during a back/honor, when standing beside his owner, at a gate/door, on the vet table, and a multitude of other situations.
In addition to beginning to implement concepts of Core Bird Dog Behaviors, attendees will have the opportunity work with their dogs on:
- Socialization
- General good manners
- Building prey drive / prey chase through bird work
- Learning to work scent
- Shaping pointing behavior
- Introducing honoring situations
- Introduction to Tie-outs
- Checkcording drills
- Building Points of Contact for handling and stopping
- Obedience
- Heeling on a loose lead
