I'm with you, my wording was bad. But to train a dog is very simple if it wasn't people wouldn'tNeil wrote:I would like to think when I started, was new and inexperienced, I never showed the arrogance above. I hope I didn't speak about the best way, it being really simple, the proper way, etc. You train more than a couple, three dogs and one of them will teach you some humility, humility is a good thing.campgsp wrote:
As far as a dog being broke in a few months, but not have style or run, and not really being broke.... Um wrooong;
You break a dog the right way is all it takes. When the dog is pointing a bird throw birds from your pouch into the air, guess what over a short time the dog will style up his head will be up on point in anticipation of the flying birds
For run umm just plant the birds farther and farther. Best way is to make a
U shape of birds planted far out. What the dog will learn with reps is that the birds are out there any way he goes as long as its forward he will find a bird. Really simple to break a dog in a few months and keep style and run/drive if done the proper way. And a broke dog is a broke dog. Steady wing shot fall, completely obedient, retrieves, finds game , honors, etc broke is broke.
Good luck birddog98 hope it all works out, get another trainer though..
If I didn't know then, I know now there is not one best way to train, that each dog learns at their own pace in their own way. I know there are number of good trainers that get great results that do not train the way I do, and I don't anyone that trains as discribed above.
e training dogs. Lots of work yes, but Simple. Three commands make or break a pointing dog, heel woah and come, with those three you can teach a dog anything. Don't believe me ask some pros, read up on it, it's practically everywhere.
As far as the methods I said lots of people do it this way. Take a look at protection kennels for one. And think about it just a minute if you place birds out and you know that in any direction the dog goes as long as its forward he'll run into a bird, what do you think the outcome will be?... Maybe I came off in my post as being nyeve in my posts. Sure there are other ways, but I can only point out what I have had successful experience with.
I never clicker trained a dog so am I supposed to tell people how to do it ? Heck no!
Sorry if that's wrong. But just because something doesn't work for someone else doesn't mean it don't work. Just because one person can't wing and shot a dog in a month doesn't mean it's not possible, just because people do break dogs in a shorter time then some doesn't mean the dog looses style and drive because of it.
All I'm saying is the way you go about it can have its advantages.Or it's disadvantages. By the way ff is whole nother month added to any training. I wouldn't put ff into any field training time frame, as well as water all both those will make training last longer. If that makes scenes.
I never ment to sound arrogant by no means.

I know what I have, had, and know. The people that know me personally know. So..
