Puppy Introduction, Control & Condition Training
My new puppy
Socialize your puppy and setting the foundation for success.
The puppy stage
Socialize your puppy and have fun! Formal training typically starts at 6 months old but there’s a lot you can do to ‘start’ your bird dog i.e ” crate training, controlling early bad behaviors, simple field commands, recall exercises, introducing dummy training collars, whistles, etc”. Look for opportunities to praise your puppy. Always end on a positive note and outcome when training.
Introducing birds
Critical timing on when to introduce birds and keeping them confident and happy. We typically start with pigeons or bobwhites. You do not want a bird shy pointing dog!
Introducing gun fire
Doing this right the first time is an essential part to building confidence and avoiding future problems.
Getting your dog to stand
If your dog won’t stand it’s difficult to properly train and control your bird dog. This builds a foundation in honoring/backing and most important STOPPING your dog. You will learn methods on how to control your dog.
