How to Keep Your Hunting Dog Hydrated

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Charlie Labarda. I'm here with Expert Village. We're here to show you how to hunt with bird dogs. Now we're going to talk about how important it is to water your dog. When it's a warm day, even a cold day you must have good and a lot of water for your dog because they will dehydrate and they will not hunt and they will get tired on you and they'll get sick and get hurt so it's best if you bring a lot of water with you for the dog. I bring this bottle, it's got a nozzle on the front and I just squeeze it and the water comes out. Most of the time, I don't know, if she's not drinking, at this moment, if she seems thirsty. Want water? Yeah, yeah she's not thirsty at this moment, but this is the bottle of water I bring. I bring two of these and some extra water in my vehicles. Are you ready? At this time, we're going to talk about hunting with two dogs, how to control dog and honor. So we're going to lead them to that bird where they are. I'm going to call them up they're now hunting, so they're out there. I'll call them. You'll notice I do two whistles that means come, and here they come, they're approaching the bird. Whoa, whoa! You see, so they're looking, whoa, whoa, you'll notice the white dog, whoa Maggie, whoa, you'll notice the white dog are honoring, that means that she stayed back. She won't have to move up, she's looking at the other dog honor, whoa Maggie, sometimes they'll move up a little bit just to look, and this is called hunting with two dogs. Whoa! When I say whoa then she stops, whoa, and now they're stopping. That's a 'whoa' command. Whoa! I put my hands out, palms out and just tell them not to move, whoa, you'll notice that they pick up their front leg, that's a good point. Whoa, secure the command again; let them know what you want them to do. Whoa! And this is how you hunt with two dogs.
