Labrador Retriever Gun Dog Training

This video is what I call ‘crossfire diversion’, where I start away from the dog, and shoot a crossfire diversion over his head while he is in route to the first mark, which he must pick up and bring back to his placeboard, which is a frisbee. The simulated shotgun sound of the Thunder 100, and the movement of the fired dummy launch, is a very big distraction to this dog since he would much rather go after the movement. He does a good job of staying put to his task at hand though, and then I go and run him on the other mark. www.sitmeanssit.com To become a franchise see www.franchise.sitmeanssit.com

The pile drill is a very good drill and one that certainly should not be omitted. This is an extra drill that I use to get the dog used to retrieving and taking direction with a bumper in his mouth to build more focus to task and to aid in his handling. The training that is done that leads up to this point is done with additional remote retrieve, and remote drop and pick up drills added to the mix.
