Training the Pointing Labrador
Education:Training
In this episode, I break down the pieces of the training process through which the flushing and the pointing dog learn that the only birds they go after are the ones that are shot for them or the ones they are sent to get. The dechase process results in a dog that is confident about locating birds in the upland field, but also clearly understands that flying birds are not fair game. Birds flying over that can't be shot or are too far to shoot - are not fair game. It makes the upland hunt far more of a pleasant endeavor and greatly adds to the safety of the hunting dog in the field.
This is the last podcast of the year, hoping that 2022 is a great year for all of us. The next podcasts will be a series of making us all better dog trainers and handlers. Until then - a happy new year to you all! Julie
