Nowej cywilizacji do stanu gry zaczynają się coraz jak enemy you now while it is small. A 40 pound bounding up against a 25 pound human toddler is not cute. Be consistent, this means everyone your family. Decide now if jumping up on furniture is appropriate or not. Be consistent. It's all of you the family or none. Example: Dad can't be the enforcer while the kids secretly let the dog up on the furniture. This is true for all types of training which the dog is expected to obey everyone. Teach the kids how to appropriately handle a dog. Kids are not born knowing how to interact dogs and vice versa! Never leave a child unattended with a pup, too much can go wrong. Remember, letting your pup run freely on outdoor jaunts afield is the precursor to the pup learning to hunt boldly and independently. To develop independence, take the pup afield, good cover as described at the beginning of these tips, and let your pup run freely Keep your mouth shut and leave your whistle your pocket -If you keep talking to pup and encouraging pup to stay close afield, then close is what you'll get when pup is finally trained. If you want this, fine. feeling is that pup is suppose to save me some walking distance by doing all the running and finding. The closer pup is to you, the more YOU have to walk WITH your bird dog. Of course there are some upland species that demand close dogs such as woodcock and ruffed grouse. If pup wants to bust and birds at this age, any kind of birds, keep your mouth shut and let pup do unless it is a weak pen raised bird that pup can catch. no weak birds if you expect the pup to learn it can't ever catch a bird a very important thing for pups to learn with regard to steadiness training later on.

Reinforce as above and continue with the check cord. I like to let them drag the check cord around It's better to let multiple pups drag the lead around they can play with each others lead. This helps immensely later on as they learn about the checking sensation from non-threatening outside sources. Let pup run with experienced bird dog just a bit. Make sure pup is on the check cord that you can control him if he tries to bust birds that are pointed by the experienced dog. Cons: Pup NOT learn to hunt from older trained dog. fact, it can be bad to let them run with experienced dog too much because the pup become dependent upon the other dog to find birds. That's not good. Pup needs to learn to find his own birds. be careful about running him with trained dogs too much. If you think pup is way ahead of the game by now and is clearly more mature than most, you can try basic yard work. If pup is put off by training, STOP and wait a full month more. Shying away is a clear sign that pup is not ready or that you are being too harsh. pups are not ready for basic yard work until 6 to 8 months of age. If pup is ready and if pup is naturally pointing and sound conditioned, kill some birds over it. Let pup run to it mouth it, then slowly carefully take the bird with NO visible audible concern anger. I 't like to start yard work until the dog is clearly birdy and properly introduced to gun fire. I also prefer to have already killed a bird over it if possible Additionally, I want to that the dog
