Ive watched a LOT of dog training vids over the last few months. I gotta say that was the funniest thing ive watched when you hit the e collar "what NOT to do" section. LOVED THAT. Our lab is 8 months old at a professional trainer. Cant wait to get him back in 2 months (4 months of training) and work on some more skills like shed hunting, and maybe a few hunt tests. Thanks for the video!
The dogs are sight pointing......not good. They need to point on scent......once scent pointing then you start steadying them up with the tethered birds that are seen.....
@@garybuys7643 ....It's not about which is harder....but the dog needs to be steadied up after it is naturally pointing on scent, then you start throwing birds around in front of it that the dog can see, to really reinforce the steadiness, tempting the dog to break, then correcting when it does..............otherwise you will end up with a dog trying to "see" the bird to initially point it. That is gonna result in a glorified flusher maybe flash sight pointing a bird once in while in the field. Those dogs and the drill/training there is excellent for reinforcing steadiness. Just saying if they aren't pointing initially on scent, then it doesn't do much good for a dog that is supposed to be pointing birds. Wild birds are not gonna put up with that kinda crowding to see them, before pointing them.......
Great video! I'm curious to know how you tethered your pigeons? Looks like a great method! I'm looking to train my pup on upland work next and was curious to know during the pointing sessions if there's a time you'll end up letting your dog retrieve a "flushed" bird or if you leave that only for shot birds. Thanks!

Спасибо! Отличное видео! У нас в стране почему-то не воспринимают Лабрадора, как охотничью собаку)
I’d love to have another upland lab, I don’t want a rangy field trial dog been there done that.
Getting a male next month grandson Bird Magic Maveric. So excited
Alan should be a very nice dog.
@@garybuys7643 hes 10 months old north Now and is doing amazing. Definitely the best flushing dog I’ve ever had
Great video!
Thank you my brother

Which is harder steadying dog on scent or steadiness on a visual bird? Visual is always more difficult especially with young dogs.

Force fetch will also try the dog's patience... Because what you're doing doesn't make any sense to him, either!
Teach the way a dog thinks and learns
