Hunting Dog Training
There are forms of hunting which are now illegal in the UK but
some forms of hunting are not. Bird hunting seems to be a
popular hunting sport for dogs and handlers. Hunting dog
training is a lengthy, time consuming process which at the end
is very worth it! You have to be completely dedicated and
willing to put in a great deal of time to get the desired
effects.
There are three essential commands when teaching your dog to
hunt. The commands are "whoa", "come" and "heel". Handlers
believe that "whoa" is the most important of all three and is
crucial when hunting birds, your dog needs to understand that
when you say "whoa" you need to your dog to stop completely in
its tracks, no matter where it is or what it is doing, this
command is not only helpful in hunting but can also save your
dog's life in other situations such as traffic!
Hunting dog training is quite a specific training field and
needs to be done by professional hunters. They have the best
knowledge and information on how to optimise your dog's hunting
potential. Many people think hunters use their dogs but they
adore their dogs very much and treasure them as they would
children, in fact most of them are like little spoiled kids!
Hunters believe that if you can "whoa" your dog you have the
hardest part over and done with. You can make him stand still
while you rush to him and congratulate him on a hard days work,
that's what it's all about; making sure your dog knows he's done
good! Always take a lot of time praising him in a soft soothing
voice, dogs are born to make their masters happy and when he
knows what makes (he will know because you praise him when he
does what makes you happy) you happy he will constantly get
better and better at the task you are asking him to do.
Apparently even the best champion only ever has his dog command
"whoa", "come" and "heel". His dog does it to perfection though.
A lot of breeds of dog today are being interbred to produce a
perfect hunting dog. All dogs have a great potential to become
the greatest hunting dog in the world, you just need to give him
some hunting dog training. Experts say that half an hour a day
when the dog is under one year old, and when the dog is over the
year mark one hour a day three days a week is all it takes to
train your dog in the ways of a hunter!
