GUN DOG
Leaps & Bounds are proud to offer Gun Dog training, this training is not only designed for those that wish to work their dogs on shoots. But is available to anyone who wants to try something different or would like to apply the steady, discipline when out on a walk across the fields or through the woods.
Whilst gun dog training is traditionally stricter our methods will always remain positive, reward based and completely non-aversive.
During training we will cover:
Steadiness
Loose lead control
Off lead heel
Recalls via the whistle
Duration and distance of waits and stays
Bring in distractions
Introduction to hunting
Teaching stops (verbal and on a whistle)
Teaching send outs
Teaching send backs
Introduction to retrieves
Working on place boards
Teaching holds
All these tasks are designed to help work towards a perfect and consistent recall, always being in control of your dog when out and about in the countryside and building a better bond and relationship between handler and dog.
