Gun Dog Obedience, Part 1: Essential Skills for a Solid Foundation teaches the basic obedience skills needed to develop a high-quality, versatile retriever. Without this foundation, your dog lacks focus, respect and control. In this very detailed, nearly 3-hour training video, professional gun dog trainer Dan Hosford breaks the process into easy-to-follow, 20-minute segments. His instruction is as much about teaching YOU as it is about training your dog. Because he uses inexperienced dogs that are learning the commands for the first time, you gain insight into troubleshooting and pick up other tips for what to do when your dog doesn't respond correctly. In this video, Dan demonstrates how to praise and reward your retriever, properly use a lead, and use different kinds of collars. He also teaches you how to get your dog to sit, heel, stay and load into a dog crate. Training should take anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks to complete.
