Hi, my name is Charlie Labarda. I am here with Expert Village; we're here to show you how to hunt with bird dogs. And now I'm going to show you one of the dogs I use; this is Mack, he is a German short hair, he's got a little bit Brittney rose on him, in his color, and notice the collar I put on his neck is orange so I can see him. This dog is seven years old and he has probably got over ten thousand birds under him. When I bought him, he was a guide dog and now I hunt with him quite often. He is a well trained dog. He is a professional dog, he makes money when he works. You notice he is shaking; the reason why he is shaking is that wants to go hunting, he is just excited about hunting. And this is one of the signal I'll use for Mack; Mack sit! You notice that? And I'll say, woa... woa... woa.... we use woa instead of stay... woa... woa... and he'll stay there until I tell him a "go" command. And I'll give him another signal to go, and I'll say, OK... Go! Good boy. And I'm going to call him back to me, he is hunting right now, and this close I'll tell him to.. say... come... come! Hey! Come! Heel! Hey! Woa! Woa! Just see how he stays... Woa!
