Check out these training tips for your Retriever or Bird-Dog
Retriever:
Helping with water blinds – Try this with a dog who is apprehensive about water blinds: Find a small, somewhat oblong pond, and place orange bumpers periodically along the shore from one end of the opposite bank to the other. Then, set up the dog and send him. Let him get whichever one he launches for, despite what you may have wanted. This isn’t a battle of the wills at this point in his training; you want him to look eagerly forward to water blinds. Once he/she is more comfortable about the process of water blinds, you can gradually ease back into more demanding precision with regard to where he is going.
Reinforcing a line – If you are having trouble on an initial line or a difficult entry with either a young dog or an older dog, try breaking down the session by throwing a hand-thrown bumper straight across/over the tough area and sending the dog quickly. Sometimes doing this relieves the pressure from the overall situation, as well as makes the communication more black and white to the dog as to what it is that you want from him. Then go back to work on your original session.
Bird Dog:
Top three quick tips for bird dogs from Bryce Mann –
Bird dogs are sometimes soft of attitude so an easy introduction to the e-collar is essential. Adjust the Transmitter to the lowest level of stimulation for which a slight response is seen.
Refrain from using e-collar corrections while on point or during a retrieve so the dog does not associate the correction to the bird.
When teaching whistle commands and hand signals give the dog one chance to do it correctly. Then if a correction is to be given make it correspond to the whistle (time & duration) using the continuous control on your Transmitter. By using this method your bird dog will quickly associate the correction to the whistle & hand signal. Praise your dog after the task has been successfully completed. In this method the whistle makes the correction and never the trainer.
Proper Use of Bird Launchers – Some folks are trying to break dogs before the dog is ready, causing the dog to “circle birds”. My thoughts on this are the way they plant the birds. Pop up release traps not used correctly can cause this (which in my opinion is a form of “blinking”). People let the dog get right on the trap then spring it open, smacking the dog in the chops. The dog either starts to circle the bird or, even worse, blink the bird.
The best way I have found to use the release traps is to teach “stop to flush”. At the start of this training, I never let the dog get scent of the bird and I always use a check-cord with the dog. When I work the dog into the general area, I release the bird while the dog is 30 to 40 yards away. When the dog starts to chase, I stop him with the check-cord, stand him up and pet the dog for standing, never giving the “whoa” command. I want the bird to be the cue for the dog to stop (I think “whoa” is the most abused word in dog training. Go to a field trial and you will think half the dogs at the trial are named “Whoa”).
Later in the stop to flush training, when I see that the dog is starting to understand, I will use the e-collar in the momentary mode at the same time that I stop the dog with the check-cord. If yard training has been properly taught with the e-collar, this comes together very fast. The dog will understand it and will not be intimidated in any way.
