Bird Dog Training
Popular Commands for Dog Training A good command to teach first is to “Come”. Next you can teach them to “Heel”.
People are amazed at watching a well trained bird dog in action. We are often in awe at how well and quickly they obey their owner’s commands. When you see them perform you may begin to ask yourself, how did they do that? Perhaps bird dog training can bring out the best in you dog.
Training them to be a bird dog will bring out the best in your dog if you are willing to work consistently with them.
There are some breeds that have a natural lineage, giving them the ability to becoming a good bird dog. Training them in obeying commands could be a good starting ground. Dog training professionals acknowledge the fact that dogs need to understand what command is being used in order to make them respond. For this basic voice command training, there are basic words a owner should use to train the dog.
First is for them to learn the “Stay” command.
Teaching your dog to respond to your ’Stay’ command, is very important for them to learn early during training.
As the dog follows these commands completely, it is a clear picture on how obedient and respectful he is to his master. Dogs will express obedience to their master by doing whatever they are commanded to do, even if their master walks a great distance before giving the command.
The ’Whoa’ or ’Easy’ command is useful for dogs that are going too far ahead, when the dog is flushing the bird and the owner wants him to stop, or when the dog wants to play with the bird. When this happens it is easier for the owner to come to the dog and reward him for a job well done.
Commanding them to ’Come’
This is a simple command used to train your dog to come to you every time you give it. The uses of this command are rather simple. A good reason to teach them to come, would be that when retrieving something, they bring it back to you when instructed to do so. Also, there are dogs that are a bit stubborn and may decide to go off in different directions. Teaching your dog to ’Come’ will help keep him within the range you need, for them to obey any additional commands.
Teaching them to ’Heel’
Teaching your dog to respond to the Heel command, is used when wanting them to walk by your side.
Another command that is often used after the ’Heel’ command is the one word command ’Ok’ or to ’Go’. By using this command your dog will know they did a good job during the hunt and you are pleased with them.
Whenever the dog performs well, never fail to give him a tap, a treat or a word of praise to acknowledge his performance. Dogs are born with the desire to make their owners happy. If you can let your dog see that he is pleasing you with his performance and you want him to repeat it, the best thing you can do is to reward him. Over a period of time, he will learn to do the same actions for which he was rewarded and praised.
Bird dog training is not easy. This is the reason why there are not many bird dogs around. However, if you really want to turn your dog into a really good hunter, you should be ready to invest some time and patience in perfecting the basic commands used in his training.

You Are My Sunshine $9.38 Elizabeth Mitchell is a smidge less locked into the no-frills folkie formula on You Are My Sunshine than on her debut, You Are My Flower. In fact, if you subtract the A-list collaborators (and, OK, the dulcimers, mandolins, and human beat boxes), Mitchell starts to look a lot like the female Dan Zanes. The same rootsy sensibility rules both artists’ recordings, as does a reverence for tried-and-tr… |
