RE: The Perfect Start/Perfect Finish- Bird Dog Training DVD
And one NEEDS to know what to do when young dogs encounter things for the first time and how to prep them for that. Otherwise you can ruin a dog a lot quicker than you can fix them. The number ONE rule of training is "its easier to train them the first time than to fix bad habits afterwards" Pups need to chase birds when they are young so they realise they can't catch them. Then the natural pointing instinct comes out and you expand on that and reinforce it w/ the cord and YARDWORK. Good habits are taught in the yard and carried into the field. Of course you need birds, that goes without saying.
