I prefer own methods but I understand if you question what you read here on the internet. You do have to be careful. Continue to scroll down to the next part. Widgets Please Note Environment is what you provide the pup. You can have the best bred pup the world and undo its potential with a terrible environment! Puppyhood should be fun yet instructional just like human childhood! No amount of praise is too much, however, what you do and when you do it is very important. Timing and consistency are paramount! Your pup's mind is like a timed lock. This lock can only be unlocked at specific times his early life. Certain behaviors instincts are triggered or 'turned on' at various times as he ages. IMHO, the 8 weeks to 8 months timeframe holds 90 percent of those moments. Know what keys to use that you unlock his full potential. 't fritter this time frame away! Limit 'lessons' to 10 minutes or less the home, teach 'no' and be loving to your pup. Teach it manners. House manners generally won't affect field learning unless you are too harsh. ALL pups must learn their place your pack! Dogs are not people and retain their wild 'pack order' instincts. If your pup is doing things it shouldn't, it's because you, the pack leader, are allowing it! Take your pup afield cover that is consistent with his size. 8 to 12 week old pup enjoy cover that is short and easy to traverse.

LOL, well, like I said, its a game to them. It has nothing to do with using intelligence, nose and predatory skill for a bird that fly far away from their grasp. It's not about the kill or the taste of a shot game bird. It simply is lacking everything they need to become a successful bird dog. Let your pup find wild birds if you have some nearby. If not, use some strong flying pigeons hidden native grasses. A pigeon hobbled with ordinary garden hose works but 't let pup catch it on the Exposure to live birds a non-threatening way is important. 't let a live bird peck, flap, or scratch your pup! Please Bird Intro Prevent launcher shyness! 't let your dog become a victim of technology! I also like to put birds a 'dog proof cage' that the puppies can play with the birds through the wire cage THE YARD, not when hunting. This builds boldness and birdiness. Remember, we're talking about 2 to 3 months of age. Encourage retrieving from day 1! experience has proven that it does NOT harm steadiness training later. But teach it a nice way! Frozen quail work great. They are fairly small, hard and smell good to pup Hard toys that pup can't chew are also good when teaching the retrieve. If you wait to develop the natural retrieve, it might not be there when you're ready develop the natural retrieve from the very first day! If pup is retrieving,
