I would and have hunted a puppy that young ,
Put him on the ground with a finished dog on a short
Drive if you can, keep it simple.

I was told The dog was trained to flush on command by her previous owner, that
Being said the only process or schedule I'm worried about is mine!

I'm not asking for advice as to what to do with my
Dog, the question was what kinds of pressure do you apply.

Db

Donnytpburge

I have decided to go with a low pressure option first. This dog has been a pretty good challenge, as stated before she is smart enough to do everything right in a training situation with the check chord on her and e-collar, she will stand for ten minutes on the barrel with a bird in front of her per...

No sir it's not a trick question I have multiple gsp and English pointers. I raised them all from Puppies, trained them, and they are bold, finished dogs! I have 1 French brittney that I Got at 4 years old, she is extremely intelligent, bold When she needs to be, and is also a finished dog. The Diff...

Donnytpburge

Agreed

So what is the differences in pressure applied?

Donnytpburge

Evan

Do you believe that some dogs are easier to train
Than others ?

Db

Donnytpburge

What kind of pressure do you apply to a hard headed
Dog?

What kind of pressure do you apply to a timid dog?

What kind of pressure do you apply to an "easy trainer"?

Db

Donnytpburge

Knowledge I can teach any age dog to heel in a short period of time. I too want a bold, in front dog and the way I teach that is by giving the dog early independence. The man that taught me about bird dogs is 70 years old, and has Been hunting, training, trialing, guiding, and breeding them for 60 y...

Chukar:

You have made a great point and I stand CORRECTED. I should not have asked for a basic this or that answer.
I have enjoyed the conversation and hope to get some more of both view points.

[Just a thought? First, if he decides to train via Smartwork he would be well advised to include our first book, Smartwork for Retrievers volume one, which has an extensive glossary of terms to help the new trainer to learn the vocabulary of retriever training. Picking a package that includes this ...

Lets keep it simple.

I believe hunting experience and bird exposure is the way to go the first year for any pup.

...hardly formal and discouraged by many so called experts. Please provide what you are referring to rather than just throwing this out there...I for one would like to hear where this came from. I have not heard an expert discourage a young dog do what your dog did on a wild bird. Check out the thr...

Gonehuntin & Evan Are you saying that a teenager should not take his dog hunting? Are you saying the teenager would better off spending his money on some DVD Products and just train the dog for the first year? Are you saying he should just ship his dogs to a trainer so they Will be perfect for a one...

Hunting Husker: You have not done anything wrong so don't let the negative comments get you down. You can go buy all the manuals and programs you want, but none of it is going to be as beneficial as your hunting experience. As any job nothing beats boots on the ground getting it done. In my opinion ...

They make bark collars, if your dog has been introduced
To the ecollar this is effective; but you can cause
Other problems if you put it on a timid dog.

I agree that American gun dog was a better show,
But believe wingshooting is better than the flush.

Are the still making American gun dog?

I go to SD every year, Its tough on me and the dogs. .I take 6 dogs, 5 pointers and a 1 flusher. We hunt hard while we are there , so I run 2 dogs per hour and rotate. I really step up conditioning about two months before the trip and gradually increase their calorie intake. By the time we are their...

Brian I make the trip every year. Research the game laws. There is a lot of public walk in areas and management areas. You can also hunt the ditches In the public road. This was crazy sounding to me at first, it's called road hunting in the game laws. I know some guys that will drop pointers in the ...

You might can ignite his retrieve with another Dog. I used a finished GSP to help me get my male pointer to do it. Of course the pointer would outrun the gsp to the bird, but once he picked it up He new if he did not get it right to me the gsp would take it away and deliver it for him. The pointer i...

Donnytpburge

I figured he was catching them, and that causes
Some bad problems man.

Hope you get it worked our with the launchers.

Donnytpburge

John It sounds like the dog is trailing you and not the bird. Is he getting real close before he points? Is he catching birds? If you do not have wild birds then make it as wild as possible by Releasing the training bird ( just let them fly, don't let the dog see it) Mark the released bird and put t...

John

Are you planting those birds or releasing them?

The dog that has a low tailed point is the better hunter!
