8-9 Month Serious Training Starts Here!!!!
|
Wake up the Hunter..... Let your dog find birds and birds only!!!! Hunt always straight into the wind don't worry about the quartering yet. Stop when your dog looses interest. Let him chase the birds in the beginning. Don't stimulate him to point to young let him flush birds till he knows exactly where they are! Don't serve the dog unless you are 100% sure that he "has" them Try to avoid contact with rabbits. If he finds, don't panic: it helps you to develop his hunting instincts. Use the dummy-electric collar.
