![]() Most dogs that work through the transition portion of training are for the serious hunter that wants a well-rounded dog skilled enough to pick up all birds, even the ones they can't see.Ĭollar conditioning runs through what the training dog learned in obedience (sit and come) but reinforces the behavior with collar pressure. We will also work on more complex fieldwork and teach the dog to mark multiple birds as well as increase the distance and overall difficulty. This part of training takes a lot of time and patience.

While we are working on the basics we will also be working on fieldwork like introductions to gunfire, birds, dog blinds, bumpers, decoys, duck and goose calls, water etc. Once the obedience is done we will transition into force fetch with teaches the dog to hold a bumper as well as how to turn off collar pressure and fetching on command.
