It’s a combination of owner and dog. My gsp at an early age was taught the find command and naturally learned how to use his nose downwind to pick up scent. He doesn’t hang around me when tracking even at an early age. Everyone has their own technique Thanks for sharing.

Very timely video find for me because I just took my two GSP’s out separately for the first time on live quail/launcher and they noticed it, but didn’t point. My poor teaching was I was waiting for the bird to actually point before launching the bird and so I never launched it. I’ll do better next time! Thanks for sharing your training!

This lady knows what she's talking about. Respectable

[mega_game_play]

Wow! There sure are a lot of highly critical comments by folks who think they know more than this young lady. Lets see all you "experts" go create your own YouTube channel with better training techniques. I didn't think so. Kat, thank you for the video. Well done!

[triggere]

Great work than you for sharing your talent. What is your preferred e collar and why?

[PerryM]

Nice job, Kat. This is a good tutorial for novices.

[semirelsayed]

Love your work
I have a question if you can kindly answer
If I was teaching a bird dog on quail is it bad to use a bird caller to bring the quail in and can that method bring bad habits. Thank you for your time 🙏

[Corsocon]

Great video!! I just reserved my first hunting dog GWP. I get her in June!!! Can’t wait to start the process

[jeremymoeller]

I have a question for you guys. I will be getting my first GWP puppy in December. I just lost my lab of 13.5 years in August. I want to train my new pup to hunt waterfowl, pheasants, and to track wounded deer. I feel confident on teaching obedience first obviously but my question is what hunting skills should I start with? Should she be solid on her waterfowling before working on upland skills or vice versa?

[brettmartin]

What eCollar/ bird launcher are you showing to manage 3+ bird launchers. I’m in the market and the number of choices seems crazy. Lol

[Bears_adventure]

How do u get that bird back sorry I'm just learning and have a long way to go but I get my puppy in September

[lukecyphers]

Do you have to use live birds in the launcher? Could you reuse deads?

[justinjbastin]

I always appreciate these videos. You guys are always helpful and very informative. Thanks for doing this for us new guys. Cheers from Kansas City!--- P.S. Since you are walking around with the bag, does that confuse the pup at all with the scent or is it not that big of a deal? Thank you!

[jacobwhite]

Not sure if you will see this because it is an old video, but where do I find homing pigeons for training?

[daltonbrooker]

Where do you get your bird launchers? Wasn’t sure if I missed it in the video or not

[medardocuevas]

You guys are awesome. I own a seven month pup, but seems very inmature still. At what age do the shorthaired start to mature?

[Okay]

I have a problem with my Brittany so the problem is she loves to point pigeons and has a high bird drive for them. But other types of birds like pheasants, quail and Chukar is that she doesn’t even point and has no drive towards them. I don’t know what to do

[fusionxray]

Hi I have a 3 year old about to be four year old cocker spaniel he isn’t too old to train is he ?

[zach_ofalltrades]

Of the bird launchers on your kennel website which one are you using in this video?

[blender_unleashed]

Is she wearing a mic? The mic on that camera is fantastic
