| We have been training for the public since 2000 and have a 20 dog covered facility for training dogs as well as our own. I believe that dogs can be trained properly without resorting to whipping, beating, or other unpleasant experiences.For the last several years I have been incorporating the West method which is a silent method and have been very pleased with results. |
| Repetition and patience will generally get the results that all of us want in a bird dog. I call my method of teaching retrieving a trained retrieve rather than force retrieving because every dog behaves and responds differently. Some require much more force than others. One thing that I have come to realize is that every dog is an individual and one training program does not fit every dog. I try to keep current on different training methods and aids that are available, and when I find one that works for me I am not opposed to using it. Most well bred bird dogs can be trained to point, back, and (if natural retrievers) retrieve in 90 days. The trained retrieve generally takes 4-8 weeks. I use both quail and pigeons in my training programs. |
