Obedience and Heelwork For Your Retriever

[@seatroutyt]

Great lesson and thanks even more for showing when things go a little off, so often videos all make it look perfect, and we know it hardly ever is. Thanks and great work

[@SirTrollingham]

I don't own a gun dog, but I still watch your videos to learn how to train my household dogs.

[@soulkeaper46]

You can also check out zak George. He has some awesome videos

[@skylertriplett8389]

Nice video have a 2 year old black lab who's good at his job just doesn't like to stay in one spot to long will give these a try

[@thewelp73]

Great video. My Lab pup is at 5 month now and just trying to keep my pup close to the knee. She's coming but good to know it can take months.

[@tonypineda5002]

Love this video!!

[@robfox5562]

Excellent series thank you

[@HuntFactory]

Thanks for watching!

[@kennyhill2678]

I'm not a trainer. I've had many dogs. My first St Bernard at age 3. My last, a Black Lab ,I know I can never replace.. My dogs were always willing and able to go hunt, or whatever their intention was bred for. I've had Rottweilers that would stop with mouth still open when I commanded stop. 1 thing they all share, some of my best friends. I cared for Lady , my lab ,, 6 months when she lost mobility in her back legs and she refused to die for leaving me.. I can't replace her,, my best friend

[@KodyMurray]

Can you make all of the dog training videos into a playlist?

[@HuntFactory]

Already have! kzbin.info/aero/PLKTKB8JoIz-xI3Q6wnth8JV8dNPwy5t4C

[@KodyMurray]

Oh awesome, thank you!

[@HuntFactory]

[@HuntFactory]

Thanks for watching!

[@northlawgundogs5254]

Nice, steady method, I'll need to catch up on the rest of your video's.....and not a bloody treat in sight 👌

[@soulkeaper46]

Love the videos, keep them coming

[@HuntFactory]

We will! Thanks for watching!

[@guymitchell3054]

I love you videos because I just got a new English lab. If I did not have these videos he would not behave, thanks.

[@HuntFactory]

Thanks for watching!

[@MyGunnie]

Thank you so much for this video, I am working on heeling with my two five months old labs and it is really a relief to hear that it can take months. I was wondering what kind of a leash do you use? Thank you again.

[@martynhall3293]

I think I heard you mention a fendawood pup. I have a pup who is from fendawood (David Latham) in England is it that where your dog came from

[@briannaamann]

New to gun dog training, but not new to dog training: a heel for me, and in competition obedience, has the dog sitting when you stop. I notice you keep your dogs standing. Does it matter? Is it more effective to have them stay standing?

[@brookstonekennelsperforman1653]

Hi Ashley, for me personally I like to have them standing as I feel they can see better especially in a situation where they need to mark a fall. Only my personal choice, having them sit is perfectly acceptable if that is your personal preference.

[@evilmemeboi6160]

Do you implement a shock collar after a few months? I hunt uncontrolled public land so trains, cars and other hunters are constantly around. I feel like my dog is completely different in real life scenarios and wonder if I should trust retrain “heel” or implement a shock collar and see if he learns.

[@kindredspirittv8598]

Do you have vids on working on Sit?

[@liamdavis9017]

I have just got a lab from a mom and dad that are both hunting dogs is there a big difference between them and the English lab

[@jongrieve791]

Enjoy your videos Josh. Any chance you can touch a bit on recommended diets for gun dogs. Vitamins / Supplements etc.

[@jongrieve791]

larry andrews thanks for the input lol. Smh

[@brookstonekennelsperforman1653]

Thanks for watching! For gundogs I recommend of course proven high quality brands, don't go for the cheapest on the shelf those often are full of fillers and other junk. Working dogs need a good balance between protein and fat, and when in hunt season the hard workers will need more calories so plan to increase their daily amount. As for supplements, I only add glucosamine because I want to protect joint cartilage. Usually the good feeds will include enough vitamins and minerals to cover everything else.

[@Outdoorkings]

My dog is 3 years old now and any female dog that gets around has him going nuts any advice on training for that.

[@markc4921]

Enjoyed the video. When does the cap gun come into play before starting obedience training? Thanks

[@migratorygame7400]

obedience training starts as soon as u get your pup. i wait to use the cap gun until they retrieve a single dummy with no problems. but u can make some noise before u feed them every time u feed them and that will help u when your ready to introduce them to the gun.

[@esphd]

Super nice

[@FilipinosaAmericavlog]

Nice

[@kristenacendejas8459]

Is that a slip lead? Any particular brand?

[@Skidly_Finley5879]

Wow thats awesome. I just picked up a retriever mixed with lab. Hes 8.5 weeks old and seems very smart. I do a lot of bird hunting in the last 3 yrs and being in early retirement at 37 i figure I have the time to start training my first gun dog. Your video seemed very similar to the training we used to use on our Rottweilers and dobermans. Im looking forward to fallowing your training videos. Is there a specific age you'd recommend me to start odins' training? I'm told a lot of different things but I see some major potential in this pooch. Thanks again great video..🐕👍👍

[@HuntFactory]

Josh's mentality is to let them be a puppy and just do fun things to start with. Help them develop that nose, because that will be huge in the long run. Here are suggestions for the stage you're at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooPHn5WXrNOib8U

[@Skidly_Finley5879]

@@HuntFactory thanks. That was a great video. Thanks again.

[@bucksandducks8974]

My new duck dog is timid to get in the water. What should I do he is 4 months old

[@migratorygame7400]

right now is the best time to get them use to water its warm water. its best to start out in calm shallow water no deeper than their elbows and get in the water with them and just walk around dont worry about retrieving just wanna let them play and check things out. once their good with shallow water then move to deeper water and again get in the water with them looking for chest deep water then once their having fun with that then water where they have to swim and walk with them once the start to swim go back where they can touch and then back out where they swim. at every stage once they are running in the water on their own then u can let them retrieve just keep them real short and build from there. i hope this helps

[@tricksbybelleandblade]

With my lab she hated water for the first year of her life. So the next year I took her to the pond every day and the first week all I did was walk her around it. The I would throw toys in it and eventually she learned to love it. Now she plunges off of the diving board!🌅🐕

[@tristenross3322]

Can you please make a video about all the gear you need to buy for your dog ?

[@migratorygame7400]

To start all u need is a standard collar and leash or just a round leash with a hand loop on one end like he's doing and last use treats or just dog food and when they do what u want treat them. Hope this helps and good luck.

[@gpoutdoors1130]

My dog works well on land but when we go to water he wants to the drop the dummy a foot before he gets to me . I caint understand why he does this only when he retrieves it in the water .

[@daytonhawkins5269]

G&P Outdoors I have the same issue with my pup has your pup been force fetched?

[@quackkillers3717]

what whistle do you use?

[@garrettdaeges7382]

its a pea less whistle

[@brookstonekennelsperforman1653]

Acme 211-1/2 pealess

[@evilmemeboi6160]

Also my dog is overly confident- I would say a cocky teenager. Is there a humane way to humble him? Or is time the answer.

[@zooieyaj04]

My 1.5 year lab has a hard time focusing on one task. How do I build on the focus while training?

[@theregulator798]

I can help. Msg me 😆

[@waheedj305]

Sir what is the difference between Retriever & Labrador?

[@HuntFactory]

A Labrador is a type of retriever just as a Golden or a Chesapeake Bay is.

[@scooterbug1976]

Don't rush this?? pup should want to do it at 4 months. You should really go see Robert Milner.

[@stewartmackay539]

Wouldn't call it disobeying? I would. The last command you gave him was heel.

[@miri3569]

They don’t look happy, they look scared. The most comfortable place for your dog should be next to you! How do you think a dog enjoys being by your side when you almost strangle them. Horrible to look at.

[@JustMe-999a]

That doesn't seem anywhere close to a decent level of obedience training. One command should be enough for a dog 1.5 years old.......
