Gundog Puppy Training Tip Obedience

Don't train your dog as a gun dog until it has completed basic obedience. In the field, your dog needs to know how to stay by your side off its lead. It should return to you without hesitation when you call or after retrieving a training aid. For safety reasons, you also need to know that your dog will sit and stay at your command. Enroll your dog in basic, intermediate and then advanced obedience classes to help it get a good foundation in obedience. Practice these skills daily at home, both in formal training sessions and by incorporating the commands into your dog's daily routine. Start this training when your gun dog is still a puppy..
