Shock is 4 months old and we only have 3 months left to get her ready for hunting season! That means we need to get started on some actual bird work now! This is our favorite drill for pointing breed puppies! We use this positive pigeon drill for our hunting dog puppies to build cooperation as well as start to develop the whoa behavior through positive reinforcement! Follow along to see how Shock does, hear our evaluation of her behavior and find out our next steps for prepping her for our hunting and guiding season!

We get our GSP this Saturday @ 8 weeks. Ive been waiting pretty much my whole life to get a bird dog (31 now). On top of that we move to our new place the same day big yard! I’ve been following studying this channel for a few years now. I can’t sleep with all the excitement! His name is Jax he’s going to be for; grouse and pheasant hunts!

This is an absolutely great drill! Great video SSK! I use this with 7 wk old pups when they first come home. This develops prey drive and gets the dog thinking about birds and creating positive 'images' within the dogs brain to associate with birds and hunting. ALL positive experiences. I have also used this drill in dogs that have been made bird shy. Just starting back from the 1st foundational block. I usually hold the bird still (both wings held tight so no flapping in a pup's face) and kneel down and let the pup smell the bird. Then I tease the pup and get them to try to grab the pigeon and then flip it out away from them. SSK knows what they are doing. Use this drill everyone. It will help prevent future issues.

I got my first pointing dog last week (A Gordon setter/English setter cross. I’ve been watching ALL your videos on clicker training and bird intro. You guys are such a great resource! I absolutely love how you guys handle the dogs and work with them.

I absolutely love the video's I really like that you're now putting the dog's age on the videos. My pup is 4 months old too. Shock is our role model. too bad I'm not nearly the trainer Ethan and Kat are. But, the video's really help!!

I have a 15wk old pointer mix for the pound. Had her a week and shes starting to track and a little bit of pointing. Not a intense point but would love to nurture it

Would a dachshund be ok for bird hunting? She seems super interested

Got a GSP 7 months ago and started training since. I was never into hunting and have never trained a dog but she is so smart and it is so rewarding training her that it makes me really happy. Even though I'm not into hunting I want her to not lose her instinct and she is getting to the pointing part on the last weeks. I'm struggling to take her off the leash because I'm afraid she runs away. I know you will probably recommend getting an ecollar but they are really expensive and I don't know how to use it. Do you have any videos teaching how to? Thank you very much, your channel is really helping me and Breda too. Thank you

Shock is looking good. Classy point with that paw held high. I have a 9 month old that I need to get onto birds but her age and timing is bad with it being summer and bird hatching season and low availability of birds in our area. Other bad timing is we are working through her first cycle at the moment. probably let her go through her second one before deciding to get her fixed or not. thankfully that shouldn't happen until January which will be after the majority of fall bird hunting season.

Got to meet Charles and your dogs the last few weeks at hunt tests in KS and MO. Loved all your dogs! Charles was alright too 😂

Thank you for the videos, they are helpful. I have a 4 month old Brittany I'm training. I hope he is ready for October as well.

How often do you do this? I've already be hunting my 7month old. Is there still value in taking a step back to do this?
