Breaking & Honoring a Working Dog

Breaking & Honoring a Working Dog

One of the difficulties in hunting situations is that the dog becomes so excited with the other dogs and hearing the sounds of the guns from other hunters in the area that all the training seems to go down the drain. This is the reason that special lessons are set up in the Field Course to prepare for this occasion.

However, it begins with lessons in the Basic Course. That is when you introduce your dog to the Stay command. Practicing the Stay command exactly as it is presented along with doing the lessons as shown working in a group situation with other dogs will be the foundation for control in the field.

After advancing your dog to perform the exercises shown in the Field Course, your dog will then be ready to honor another working dog. This training step is the key to control. Without practicing this exercise would be a real oversight in preparing your dog for the hunting situation.

Again, it starts with the basic course….
