  bird dog retriever training: British Training for American Retrievers Vic Barlow, 2014-07-12 There has long been a disconnect between the retriever training methods in the United Kingdom and in North America. British Retriever Trials are primarily a test of the dog's skill as a game finder, while American Field Trials are a test of the handling techniques of the owner. The Brits teach their dogs to find every bird, while American handlers are training for an event in which tracking cripples plays no part. The British manner, for many American and Canadian hunters, makes more sense to them on a day-to-day basis because its aim is to produce a finished gun dog who is steady, quiet, and reliable in the field.

  bird dog retriever training: Absolutely Positively Gundog Training Robert Milner, 2015 Traditional gundog training is based on compulsion and rooted in a picture of the dogy's nature as similar to a wolf with much emphasis on dominance and sub ordinance. Milner turns that theory upside down citing research which finds that wolf packs operate in cooperative family groups with minimal factors of dominance. Dogs, Milner believes, learn much faster with a cooperative training model. Milner has chucked compulsion and embraced reward as the primary training tool. He gives the reader a simple, reasonable easy-to-perform training model. His extensive practical experience leads him to condense gundog training down to a few critical behaviors. Milner gives the reader clear concise instructions producing those behaviors to develop an excellent gundog who excels also as a family dog. This is a book on how to manage the strong instincts of retrievers and influence them to work for you and with you to produce a valuable companion that enhances your outdoors experience, be it hunting ducks, or fishing for trout, or hiking in the back country.--Page [4] cover.

  bird dog retriever training: Instinctive Shooting Buz Fawcett, 2013-01-01 Here, point and shoot.?

Because of his success, his father awarded him his grandfather?s Model 1912 Winchester, which he mastered, even though it ?kicked the whey? out of him. However, his amazing shooting abilities as a kid didn?t follow him into adulthood. Fawcett entered into what he calls his ?Dark Ages? of shooting after accepting an associate editor position at Sports Afield in New York City, where he had to read and edit what other gunmen were writing about shooting techniques. Eventually, he took a position as editor of Guns & Ammo magazine, located in California. He soon found himself in a position where he could shoot as much as he liked. After a number of years and extensive research into shooting methods, Fawcett rediscovered his talents through a technique called ?Instinctive Shooting.? This research and a lot of practice finally led to teaching a workshop on instinctive shooting to help others become adept at this miraculous ?point and shoot? method. Instinctive Shooting is Fawcett?s guide for other gunmen, describing exactly how and what needs to be done to achieve the ultimate shooting instincts. Practical and hands-on, the book covers such topics as determining your dominant eye, achieving proper shotgun fit, how to correct point and shoot, selecting equipment, practice regimens, mounting, and much more.
