Hunting Retriever Upland Gundog Training
|
With all flushing dogs we use quail, pigeons, chukar &
pheasants. We use clipped wing running pheasant for trailing
skills and all upland dogs are taught to hunt and retrieve in all
types of cover. All upland dogs are taught to quarter off the
whistle and sit to the whistle. The whistle allows us to keep the
dog in range and is used to call the dog off of hens and missed
birds. We also expose your dog to different hunting grounds to
socialize them to as many different hunting scenarios as
possible. Advanced work would include sit to the flush and
steady through the shot
When you take your dog home from Premier Gundogs and go upland hunting for the first time, it will NOT be the first time your dog has been upland hunting.

Range... is taught by imprinting that the birds
are close to "DAD". We start this process
during the foundation stage by planting the
birds, as we go along and then calling the dog
back in our area. They quickly learn "DAD"
found birds and I did not, so I'm hunting close
next time".
Most all Upland dogs are taught the Hold
Command and the Conditioned Retrieve.

PREMIER GUNDOGS TRAINING KENNEL
Our "Pointing Labs" Upland Training program is designed to bring out the natural staunchness in your Labrador, while
incorporating the same fundamentals that all flushing dogs need. Dogs are worked on Liberated & wild birds to insure that
the dog can not move in or break point and catch the bird, which creates a strong desire to stay on point.
Above, an 8 month old locks up on a Liberated Quail. Birds that are liberated are
much more wild and spooky than regular pen raised birds. If she moves closer
the liberated bird will react much more like a wild bird and flush sooner. This
imprints in the dogs mind," If I move too close or jump in, the bird will flush and fly
away"
