Is a question , I get asked alot about!
The complex answer is "it's in the genes", it is an intelligent way of masking your own scent from the prey you are hunting!
So if you chastise your gundog for doing so, you will be attempting to modify the way the gundog wants to do their job !
Changing unwanted behaviour is best acheived by giving the gundog, something much more interesting to eat or do, if you have bored the gundog to death with too many treats and retrieves, fox poo is more more exciting!
Chastising your gundog when they recall smelling aweful, is one sure way to prevent them recalling quickly on the next occasion!
If you can catch them in the act and pull a rabbit out of your hat, I guarantee you the gundog will stop what it is doing, and suddenly become more interested in what you are doing!
The real art of training a gundog is keeping it interested
