Bird Dog & Gun Dog Terminology

[@michellevazquez1203]

This was awesome. Thank you for sharing all the things! Also everyone should want there significant other to look at them the way Bob looks at Memphis. You can tell he love his girl. 🐕🐕🐕

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Haha yes!!

[@jcarry5214]

I really like the point about "no" being a positive builder, not just a correction. Eliminating or guiding options really seems to build that confidence. I notice that a lot with my brittany. Even when we're just out walking and he goes down the wrong fork in the trail a simple no is just an instruction that he corrects for himself, and that pattern seems to lower the stakes when it's more urgent.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

I like this. Thanks for sharing!

[@waynemensen4252]

Hup- to cut across the cover/ change direction. I point left or right as you would to cast a retriever to the side.

[@jamesduprey4409]

I would like to hear a video on how you cast your dog. How far out do you let him go and how about left to right coverage.

[@melaniegagnon3835]

Super helpful! Thank you!!

[@jessicalemonade]

OOO "distance erodes control" I LIKE IT

[@StandingStoneKennels]

[@therandomyoutuberr5347]

You guys should write a book id buy it for sure

[@StandingStoneKennels]

We just might have to do that!

[@cadottnews]

Most of the information here you can find in Mike Lardy's manuals. Lardy is probably the most famous and successful retriever trainer in history. Just google Mike Lardy Total Retriever Training.

I am training my fourth GSP and have been following your videos, the last three i followed Wolters gun dog book. I have used Come with one long and two short blast on whistle to return dog to me and Here with two short blast to turn dog as he is quartering or to far out. you use both terms the same do you have a term for turning your dog

[@StandingStoneKennels]

We teach this to happen naturally! Bump changing direction often in training the dog will learn to cue off of your location and pay attention.

[@goory93]

For a versatile dog, would it be most beneficial to train them as steady to wing, shot, and fall? So that carries over into steadiness in the duck blind? My gut tells me yes, consistency would be better but I am interested to know your thoughts.

[@zanezakai5240]

You all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any tips you can offer me

[@hassantate1271]

@Zane Zakai Instablaster =)

[@zanezakai5240]

@Hassan Tate I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@zanezakai5240]

@Hassan Tate It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account!

[@hassantate1271]

@Zane Zakai no problem :D

[@TheBoilerCowboy]

Running multiple dogs, I've found releasing them by their name...at all times...for all training is the best way (for me). In the yard, just playing fetch, releasing a dog by their name just makes it easier and I don't have a dog fight (my dogs don't legit fight...but if they're racing and bumping each other, someone could get injured quick) over a bumper. It's easily trainable at the feed bowl. I release them to eat by their name. I'm by no means a professional btw...and my dogs are nowhere near finished like these guys do to their dogs.

[@loneduckoutfitters]

buncha handsome fellas right there

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Heck yeah!!

[@DrDaleHubbardPhD]

Dogs are capable of learning a vast amount of commands. It actually expands intellectual stimulation. Do not use one command for a number of situations.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

It simplifies language overall and makes perfect sense to the dog.

[@hellyeah2299]

Ok a question for one of you smart dog trainers. I have a 5 year old GSP. She's quite smart and sneaky. She understands when her training collar is on or off. She will mind very well when she has on her collar, but may get headstrong and refuse to mind when her collar isn't on. Any pointers for how to overcome this situation?

[@DrDaleHubbardPhD]

Train without an e-collar. Dogs become collar wise very quickly.

[@bradenbloodworth313]

Im on the fence I really want a gsp but I want a dog for duck hunting not. I’m aware of the coat being thinner. But I’m hunting in north Alabama. And dose there more high strung nature make them harder to make sit still.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

If you are strictly duck hunting we would suggest looking into other breeds, while Gsp's make good waterfowl dogs there are better options for just duck hunting. Thanks for watching

[@USAFTACP]

When researching breeds and not knowing anything, I kept coming across "soft"; breed A is softer than breed B. I'm leaning to believe that a soft dog in a training situation will just quit if too much pressure is applied.

[@jcarry5214]

Yes! I have a soft dog and they will. I kinda assumed that soft meant fearful or timid, but now it seems more to mean they'll just try to redirect and avoid or "blink" to a comical degree. Like "you know what, I'm deciding we're going back in the house" or "i have no idea what you're talking about even though we do this all the time, I don't like your attitude." Sometimes it's deeply manipulative, sometimes it's sincere. As an example, we went camping a couple weeks ago and it got way colder than anticipated on the second right around pup dinner time, so all of the sudden it was urgent that he eat before we could move on with getting him back in the truck and us warmer. He was seeing us piling our clothes on and get our dinner stuff ready to go. We were still calm, but the pressure changed and he blinked his own food dish. Would not acknowledge his meal until we settled and ignored him.

[@jcarry5214]

It's not a life sentence though, I should say. Even when he's being bratty soft he's learning to trust and try again when I hit the reset button.

[@danielsullivan9865]

Hup, means to turn quarter and go with you. Alright or awright means run ahead or release from point and relocate . Flagging, Tail wagging while on point is a form of blinking. Chomping Sent ,When a dog is pointing with extreme intensity and his mouth is chopping tasting the scent. Run, means hunting with extreme speed with high head and high cracking tail,some say huntin every jump and searching likely game cover. Dead Tail or Limber is a low tail without cracking-wagging while searching for game. Sickle Tail,is atail that curls over the dogs back As opposed to a poker 12 o’clock tail. Backing is when a dog Inherently sight points another dogs point with intensity As opposed to command woah or stop. Style , Means high head ,hightail standing straight up with extreme intensity . Soft ,means blinkie but not extreme. Meat Dog, A dog that will fill your game bag without style in class.

[@jmcrume8173]

I use "here" to get him to my general vicinity and I use come to get his ass to me...Wrong? I have an almost 3 year old pointer and he knows the difference...
