Train Your Dog to Hunt Birds

Summary: Man has long had a special relationship with one particular animal on this planet: the dog. We’ve trained dogs to herd other animals, to hunt, to track, and to retrieve; no wonder they’re man’s best friend. Over time, dogs have proven to be well adapted for human life, expressing qualities of loyalty and bravery, and responding well to commands. Since they are inherently wild animals, all dogs need some sort of obedience training to learn how to perform the tasks we have for them.

Hunters use dogs for highly specialized tasks: to find prey, flush it out and retrieve the kill. “Gun dogs” or “bird dogs,” as they are called, are trained to search broad areas of the hunting field, sniffing out hidden birds and causing them to take flight. This allows the hunter to find a quarry, take aim and make his shot, rather than chasing down a bird on the muddy banks of a manmade lake, with his shotgun in tow.

One of the most difficult parts of bird dog training is habituating the dog to the abrupt nature of gunfire. This training takes place in small stages over time, and helps the dog to learn to associate the sound of a gunshot with the expectation of a bird.

In this free instructional video series, learn how to train a dog to hunt with you. Our dog obedience expert will guide you through the process with some tips and techniques you can use on your dog. Lessons include single- and multi-mark training, as well as the sit, stay, fetch and come commands. They also teach you how to use a dog whistle and what to do when you’re working with puppies.
