Backing is the most important thing your dog can do to insure hunting partners invite you for a second time! Thanks for the videos.

I remember training my German Longhair Pointer (Freyja) with a group of people from the CKC and using a long leash to initially teach the dogs how to honor a point. I'm a large male at 6"4' and 280 lbs and we were on the side of a hill and I was not properly braced and she dragged me up the hill. Freyja and I were eventually able to get our act together and with considerable help able to earn one field title and one field championship. I miss her dearly along with our Vizsla (Vesta) who with considerable assistance we were able to have Vesta earn two Field Titles and two Field Championships. When ever I took my two girls hunting we would often limit out around lunch time; Freyja would be in need of a nap along with myself while Vesta would be going strong and wondering why we would need a short nap. It has been since December of 2019 that we have been dogless. Hopefully this fall we will be getting a puppy.
