INDOOR WINTER OBEDIENCE CLASS
"Finished” gun dogs are not made in the training fields in the spring and summer, the foundation for a finished gun dog and Prized Utility Test performance is made before the snow melts!
We will be bringing in Nate Czaronota (as seen on Gun Dog It Yourself ) the weekend of June 13 – 14th for a seminar. This obedience class dovetails nicely with his training methods. The key concepts your dog will learn from this class for his seminar will be how to turn pressure off and how to make the right choice that leads to a reward.
Nate trains using operant conditioning and this class teaches the handler operant conditioning.
Training concepts covered will include:
-How dogs think and learn – rewards, pressure, corrections and withholding
-Why and how to use a pinch/prong collar
-Heeling – loose leash and off leash
-Static - WHOA, steadiness, sit, down, stand
-The 3 D's - Duration, Distance and out-of-sight, -Distractions including birds
-Recall
-Introduction to retrieving, positive and forced
-E-collar tips - do’s and don’ts!
-Engagement with your dog, how to get it and keep it for life
-Natural Ability, Gun Dog and Utility Test expectations and handling tips
-Socializing your dog so they are not reactive to other dogs and people.
