The Puppy Stage With Brookstone Kennels Performance Gundogs - Hunting Dog Training

Hunting dog training starts early and even if you're dog is too young to retrieve, there's still plenty of training you can do. At this stage, it's about exploring and beginning to introduce concepts that will be used down the road. Exploration walks and hunt games help puppies begin to develop and learn the skills required to become a hunting dog.

This makes me miss my dog! My Hunter is 9 weeks old and I’m at work monitoring him off one of the Arlo cameras haha! By FAR, the best series anywhere!

I have a pup coming in February, (Pudelpointer). This is a great game to get a gun dog started. Will definitely use it.

Just found your channel and my new gun dog pup comes home in a week! Gonna be using this hunt command for sure!

[lisafoster]

Thank you! We're going to be getting my fiancee her first gundog here is a couple short years (when my elderly golden passes away), and the bulk of the training has been entrusted to me. Thsnk you so much for the information - I can really use that.

Love this series of vids! My old pup Izzy is 11 now and it's time I start preparing for a new pup.

I just got my Black pup here in Maine 3 days ago, 8 wks 1 day. He flew in from Southern Ut. Dad is a FC and mom is JH. My dad ran trials my whole life and we always had 3 black dogs my entire life. I am nervous to start but "Lido" is doing well in the first few days. Its -9 out tonight so house training is interesting but he will be ready for Ducks in December with these video, thank you for the information.

I am getting a German short hair pointer puppy soon and I am so excited

[thwackitoutdoors]

I pick up the newest pup next week. can't wait to try a new approach to teaching. My old lab is amazing but now I am having to reteach myself on training a puppy again. Thanks for the videos.

Hi Josh, This id Ed Daeges from Omaha. I spoke with you a couple of years ago. You truly are a down to earth professional. The best at explaining different steps and information that helps anyone that is just starting or been training for years. I hope some day to come down to neck of the woods and meet you. Hope things are going well for you.

Is it common to train dogs for multiple task such as shed hunting, blood trail tracking as well as retrieval

[Onyx]

What are some hunt games you play with them?

[frankcambra]

Like this. How about throw a hand full of kibble into the grass?

Food and feathers?

Great videos I have been watching now for a few days, I have a pure breed black hunting lab his parents and grand parents were all champions here in Ireland. Unfortunately I didn't get the time to train him when he was younger but now circumstances have changed and I have been doing bits with him. Do you think at 4 he's to old? He certainly has all the traits of a top hunting lab would that be his lineage?

My question: if your current dog is male (just at 12 months old), do you pick a female as the second dog, or can you go with a male if say, you find a litter that has a pup you like that happens to be male. I'm wondering if training and working potential gets influenced by the presence of multiple labs in the same home when it's not set up like a kennel arrangement. The dogs would interact quite freely for the most part. I'm wondering if getting a second male will create some rivalry with the first one. That could be a good thing, not sure. I know with German Shepherds, they tend to get possessive of their person, and having two GSDs can create quite the competitive dynamics among two or more dogs in the same home that want to claim the human's attention. But that's GSD's. With Labs, I'm thinking they're a bit more relaxed on resource guarding and far more socially cooperative. I'm game to try to train two at once. The lab I have now is insanely responsive, and motivated to take direction. Very easy to train. The retrieving part is up to the dog's aptitude. I teach the handling part of the game.

My reason for getting the second dog is that there's a litter of pups from two parents I'd really not like to pass up. I've been waiting for a pup from this pair for quite awhile. Otherwise, I wouldn't get another pup at all right now. Away from any training, my male lab tends to like other female dogs far more than other males (probably no surprise since he's intact, lol, but even females aren't that much of a distraction for him with regards to training). He's nearly indifferent to other males, or he plays with them a bit, but could care less. He lives to train. I mean think intense obsessive drive that needs training as an outlet. That's him. He is a field bred lab that reminds me more of a Malinois on his drive tendencies, except there's no Mal like aggression. He is a hard charging aggressive retriever, though. That is for sure.

[codysmith]

this is awesome. I have a 4 month pure bred lab but he's definitely not from a hunting line. could he be trained to hunt?

[meadowmade]

Thank you! We have a litter of hunting puppies. How do you recommend I get in front of the people who will give them an excellent life doing what they have long healthy genetics to do well?

[AAxMV]

Are you in socal or know anyone down here I can take my puppy to? She’s 9 week American cocker spaniel

[thomasathey]

by snuff out bad behaviours do you mean correct? also with chasing other dogs, my golden retriever, 6months old, is super into other dogs, a nightmare when he sees another dog, just wants to play with every dog.. how would i solve this>
