Is your gundog resisting training and disobeying your commands? Do you want to start training your puppy to be a bird dog, but don't know where to start? Training any dog requires an extreme amount of patience, but training a bird dog... That's usually reserved for professional trainers and experts, right? Not any more! If you enjoy hunting and want to increase your chances of hunting prey and scoring game, a hunting dog is the way to go. Dogs have been our companions for thousands of years, and some breeds were deliberately bred for outdoors and hunting. However, training these breeds can be tricky. Yes, they are genetically disposed to flush, retrieve, or point, but genes are not enough. Bird dogs, or hunting dogs in general, require a firm hand, a great amount of knowledge, and a variety of training drills and techniques to polish their hunting instinct. This process requires time and patience, and that part is on you. But when it comes to training, we've got you covered. In Gundog Training Like a Pro, you will discover: The top bird dog breeds for beginners, and how to choose one to fit your hunting preferences and lifestyle, including a breed's personality traits and hunting speciality Which dog training method to choose -- Leader vs. Positive Reinforcement, and how to combine them for best results What to look for in a breeder when choosing your bird dog puppy, and things to look out for when evaluating the litter A guide through your puppy's first year of training: Discover how to prep your dog for formal hunting training Basic commands for bird dogs and drills to train obedience, including tips on tone of voice and phrases Formal hunting training exercises and techniques, to help you raise a perfect hunting companion A list of training mistakes to avoid and common bird dog problems in the field, including some popular training myths that might hinder your training Common hunting breeds health issues, and how to prevent them with proper nutrition A guide through essential and helpful bird dog training tools, teaching aids and equipment And much more. If you have a special affection toward hunting breeds, but you're not a hunter, don't be discouraged: gun or bird dogs make excellent pets. However, you do need to invest some time and energy to train them. They are natural hunters, governed by their instincts. It can be a tricky situation -- you need to teach your dog how to control those instincts and obey you, without suppressing their nature. With a combination of clear instructions and fascinating insight into the mentality of hunting breeds, even a first-time owner will be able to train their dog to its full potential.
