Basic Waterfowl Training
|
A
great waterfowl retriever needs to be a good marker, take straight
lines to fallen birds, and be steady and quiet in the blind.
Advanced gun dogs can also be taught to handle to birds they didn't
see fall, or "blind" retrieves. In Wind Wagon Retrievers' customized Waterfowl Training program your dog will learn to mark with both bumpers and birds, and to retrieve from the land and water. We teach dogs many different types of retrieves, including open water, running (shallow) water, and multiple entry retrieves, so that no matter where you hunt your dog will have the confidence to push through obstacles to retrieve a fallen bird. Your dog will learn to use their nose to search for a fallen bird in different types of cover, take a straight line back to you, and deliver to hand. Retrievers must have successfully completed the Basic Retriever Training portion before beginning this training. This program takes approximately 2 months to complete. |
