It often surprises us when we see well trained bird dogs in action. Obeying the commands of their owners, bird dogs do their work in an exemplary manner. We often wonder how bird dog training can produce such results, getting the dogs to be so cooperative.
If you put a lot of work in it, it can be done.
There are a number of dog breeds that are well suited for becoming great bird
dogs. A good start would be teaching them to obey your commands. Before dogs
can understand what people are telling them, they need to learn the language
first. In this basic variant of training, dogs need to understand the three
main commands: 揷ome!? 搘hoa!?and 揾eel!? These commands need to be mastered
by the owner as well.
The 揥hoa!?Command
The 搘hoa!?command is the first thing bird dogs need to learn. By learning
this, they can understand when they're being told to stop, without moving again
unless he's being ordered to do it. Obeying this command shows that the dog
respects his master and that he is obedient. If you want to test whether a dog
is completely obedient, you should try giving the 搘hoa!?order at larger
distances. This way you're sure that he will listen to you even when the
command is not enforced by the immediate presence of the master.
You can also use the 搘hoa!?command to control dogs that get out of hand,
trying to flush a bird on their own or play with it. If their master wants the
dog to stop what he's doing, he can use this command to make him stop. Ideally,
the command and the obedience should be rewarded by the master.
The 揅ome!?Command
The purpose of the 揷ome!?command is to make the dog come to the owner when
they hear it. It's quite easy to use this command. In the case of a bird dog,
it's much easier to make him come to you with the thing he retrieved, if he understands
this command. A lot of dogs are more independent and go do their own thing.
Using the 揷ome!?command you can keep him at a good distance from you.
The 揌eel!?Command
When you want to make sure that your dog will walk by your side, and not wander
away, the 揾eel!?command can be used to get this effect. You can teach him an
additional command, like "go" or "okay" to let him know
that he is released, and can return to hunting with you.
Whenever the dog performed well, never fail to give him a tap, a treat or a
praise to acknowledge his performance. Fine dogs are born with the instinct to
please their owners. If you can let your dog see that he is pleasing you with
his performance and you want him to repeat it, the best thing you can do is to
reward him. Overtime, he will learn to repeat the same desirable action so long
as you allow him to.
Each time the dog does what you ask of him, make sure you reward him either
with a treat, a tap or a praise, to let him know that he did well. The best
dogs are those that have an instinct when it comes to pleasing their masters.
You should let the dog know that you are pleased with what he's doing, and that
he should do the same in the future. The best way you can let him know is by
rewarding him.
Doing bird dog training is quite hard. If it was easy, you would see a lot more
bird dogs around. Still, if you want to make a good bird hunter out of your
dog, make sure you invest the patience and the time needed to teach him the
three commands that stand at the basis of bird dog training.
