Two-day Positive Gundog Training Seminars at Duckhill Kennels- 2013
The two-day training seminars are half classroom and half field work. The objective is to train the trainer, not to train the dog.
Day one - consists of a power point lecture liberally sprinkled with video clips and imparting the basic principles of B.F. Skinner and Konrad Lorenz as applied to training retriever gundogs. Students will also receive information on the latest dog behavior research which has experienced quite a surge in the past 15 years. The lecture concludes with valuable information on how to hunt your dog in a manner that preserves his training, and how to hunt him in temperature extremes and preserve his health. Then comes a 2-hour exercise in using positive reinforcement to influence a dog to make decisions of the trainer’s choice.
Day two – starts withfield demonstrations of training methods for delivery to hand, steadiness, whistle stops and blind retrieves. We conclude with exercises to train the dog to go for the long unseen cripple in spite of closer more obvious dead birds. This is followed with another power point lecture with great photos covering British Shooting today, the history of Retriever Field Trials, and British Field Trials as they are run today.
