Shoot one for the dog
We do a lot of bird dog training before we ever shoot a bird for the dogs. I like the dog to do everything right before they get a bird shot over them. Shooting a bird for your dog is a reward for them and they love every aspect of it. From the point, to the flush and the retrieve – they are in bird dog heaven. Lizzy stands her birds nicely and is doing really well so to celebrate her first birthday this week we shot a bobwhite quail for her.

I would recommend doing a google search for “force fetching” or the “trained retrieve”. Dogs that struggle with retrieving sometimes can be trained to retrieve flawlessly. Puppies that are started the right way usually end up retrieving quite well. I use the First Steps training program that is a training DVD you can get from hideawaykennels.com. It is the very best method for getting your young dog started on the right path.
