The three ways of gundog trainingAbout how we do field trainingI guess there are as many ways to train a dog for field trial as there are humans and dogs. We have found that the most important thing is to be open to changing your methods to what suits each dog, that there are no big NO´s and nothing that is certain when it comes to dog training. I´will print some pieces here though about methods that we prefer to work from and that we have found useful through the years, but nothing is more certain that there´s no definite metod when training your dog.
And yes it differs between pointers, spaniels and retrievers, as well as between dogs... At least from my experience...
When it comes to gun dog training there are three basic styles that tends to be used, at least that is my experience. First we have what seems to be the most used one:
Which system that is the best, has more to do with the trainer and the dog, than anything else. The good thing about these three systems is that if you fail in one, you can always try one of the others and hopefully succeed anyway. |

Training takes patience and time, so take a deep breath and relax - there´s no point in doing it if you aren´t in the right state of mood...
