Want a better hunting dog? We can help you.
Go with us, come to us, and be still. This is the foundation that must be established for all bird dogs.
- Go with us. Your dog needs to key into you. Your dog should check in with you to see where you are and where you want him/her to go.
- Come to us. When you cue your dog, verbally or non-verbally, expect him/her to come to you.
- Be still. This is necessary for later training skills such as steadying to the flush or game is down.
How do you train a dog to go with you, come to you, and be still? That's a bit complicated. However, we would be happy to show you.
We utilize the Silent Command System™. This system acknowledges the intelligence of our bird dogs, and utilizes the instinctive level our dogs function with. This is done without using words to start since words only confuse your dog. They don't understand English.
It is vital that our dogs see us as the leader of the "pack." After all, they are pack animals. Once we are established as the leader, we will be able to use the system to show our dogs what to do and how to do it. Our dogs learn by allowing them to make choices. It is natural to want to assist our dogs, however we do not interfere or show emotion such as anger or frustration. Our dogs can sense our feelings.
We encourage you to come out and see how we train. You will find it to be a very user-friendly, fun, and of course humane way to train. There is no charge for a first time consultation. Please contact us at (715) 669-3303.
