Teach Your Gun Dog To Fetch - Step 1

[@rbljackson]

great series that I look forward to. Our 7 month old Choc Lab was sent for formal obedience and basic gun dog training. They are starting the force fetch table work in the next two weeks i think. Hope to learn more about this process.

Can you purchase a table like that ? I had one I built several years ago wear and tear has taken its toll. I need to replace it .

[@NEWYORKHILLBILLY]

Excellent!! how high is your cable off the table?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

30 inches roughly. :)

What are the prerequisites you would look for to determine if your dog is ready for this training or not?

I'm afraid I don't understand all this complication. If one has a dog of decent breeding the instinct to fetch and carry is in its DNA - that's what it does. They will naturally hold if you delay taking hte dummy/bird. Just practise it. I started my little baby springers with very small dokken duck dummies at 10 weeks. They chased, and back they came. They have done that ever since. Now of course both are steady to flush, steady to shot, steady to rabbits, of course, Mother now goes out on hand signas plus of 300 yards, gets the bird and sits in front and hands over. She is 5. She marks, naturally, and that has been encouraged. She counts to six, Six down in front. she'll turn ready to go on return. When she has swept what she has marked, she doesn't turn. She has brought in 1278 birds - we pick up. The baby had to stand in for Mum at 7 months, because of injury. She goes out, about 50 yards to an unmarked bird on signals, and about 150 yards to a marked bird. She has brought in 106 birds. She goes out, she comes back she sits down she hands over the bird. No tables no straps no complication. Just keeping it to a game, and a great reward on return. Why overcomplicate? Mum is better than several Field Trial grade labs, and Baby will be outstanding. Why make life complicated? (All as at the end of last season. Training this summer of course things progress)

Thanks for sharing as we've explained in many videos about the trained retrieve process there are different reasons to apply these training techniques, including dogs that are older that come in for training and weren't necessarily developed properly with the final retrieve in mind so there are a lot of bad habits and sloppy retrieving behaviors that need to be fixed.

As a guy who has never trained a bird dog before, and a dog who isn't a traditional bird dog breed I find the level of detail in these videos very helpful.
