Easy And Inexpensive Pointing Drill For Your Puppy

[@colinjohnston5465]

Thanks for this. The launchers in the UK are nearer $600 than $300! That cone looks like a cool idea for getting the dogs pointing, especially if you've got the right depth of ground cover to keep the bird comfortable and the dog solely relying on scent.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching! Crazy on the pricing difference!

Great idea guy's. I have A female GSP named Mila that has just turned 6 months. This is my second GSP after losing Lena 6 year's ago. Lena didn't come from a line of hunting dog's, but as a new pup was stalking, pointing and had great recall. The new pup Mila comes from a great background of solid hunting dog's, but is just not taking to bird's well. She is interested in them and also in other critters like lizards, I'm in FL and will stop on them then flush. But on wild bird's that are just around she gets distracted unlike Lena that would point from any distance and go into stealth mode till a woah and hold forever and look back at me for direction.Thanks for the videos working older dog's to the field. Any tips from anyone would be great and I'll keep watching.

Do you do the same drill with pigeons? If so, do you set them in the same manner?

[@jakegullickson89]

You take this down if my wife sees this I won't be able to order my launchers when they become available

thanks

[@charleslariviere5846]

Would you recommend this for Springer training as well or just pointing dogs? Thanks love the content !!

[@tylerjohnson5647]

Would you utilize this with a pup the first time you introduce the dog to birds in the field?

[@alchemistbruce2700]

Thankyou for this video, my question is if your dog flush before you are ready or flush before you give the command to flush and the bird takes off, do you still shoot the bird or you let it go?

[@jshauns]

Cool!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching!

[@rusticolus23]

Why will this not work with quail? I understand regarding the pigeon. But quail will act similar to a pheasant, does the cone just have to be smaller dimensions and that's it?

[@jameswaters313]

But can you do this with a pup or will they bust the chicken wire?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

You can use this with pups! If they bust the chicken wire just bend it back!

[@jameswaters313]

@@StandingStoneKennelsthanks. Just got my 2nd Weim. With this one I really want to make certain they never catch their own birds.

[@aaronpiccinin4824]

Can you use pigeons for this, will they work?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

I would guess not very well.

[@brianbarr8623]

Can you also sleep and set a pigeon?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Typically no they wake up and fly away most of the time.

[@rickedger8770]

Using orange colored ties will help to get them easily spotted in the field.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Not a bad idea! I really love the thrill of the hunt... for the cones after each session.

[@jamesbragg5135]

Can I use pigeons??

[@kristyw8180]

Can you sleep a pigeon the same way?

[@kevinmartin2096]

Can this be done with pigeons or not?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Great question. Not well... Pigeons naturally habitat is not sitting in the grass. Most of the time when the wake up they will just fly.

[@kevinmartin2096]

@@StandingStoneKennels So is there any real trick with them? Or do you have to use the bird launcher

[@gregoryshelton1358]

To get your dog properly trained makes it not expensive. (The launcher)

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Bird launchers are my go to and always will be!

[@bradgilbert9546]

I'm sorry, this guy just lost all cred at "you'll probably lose them more often than not...try not to run them over later on with your hedgehog". I personally own a hedgehog and I cannot sit by and let the like of you telling us how our birds are loosed to achieve some outdoorsman's hard-on for the week.. Just kidding. Loved the content. Having fun because when I was 10 I did the same thing..train dogs every day...all day.

[@ELLISRUGER8]

From your posts, i thought you were younger than 10

[@ryanlewis1272]

Thanks for presenting this alternative to launchers! Does this work well with feral pigeons that I’ve trapped too? I would imagine they would fly before you get back to them🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@pachbengo1570]

I had the same question

[@StandingStoneKennels]

They will... Most of the time unless you come up on it still sleeping it will most likely be gone by the time you are back with your pup!

[@redrivermudmonster4962]

@@StandingStoneKennels maybe put a chicken wire lid on it. Then kick it over. Let me know what you think

[@aibekkenzhebayevddrahtman4642]

You can dizzy or tire the bird. Ferals need to be tired or dizzied well out.

[@charlesupchurch628]

Any advice for using this method for quail? Smaller cone?

[@andrew9679]

“Bird Can”??

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Bird Can!

[@marcaw685]

You actually did it in 1 min. if you speed up the vid

[@davidklopp01]

I like this alternative. Thanks for the tip.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Glad you like it!

[@thomasbopple7497]

How does one train / acclimate pointer to close distance on target bird prior to flush (assuming bird is not running)?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Best thing to do here is get access to wilder birds! They teach sooo much!

[@robertrobison5405]

On a checkcord you dont make the dog point.you just stop him from catching it and he will develop beautiful points...Bill West...Bill Gibbons Method

[@maisonhooten3690]

Are bird launchers still worth it if you can only afford one?

No

Really? Is that your Q?
