Testimonial
-Hunt Dog Hunt-
"The change is remarkable.
He’s always had a long,
loping, graceful stride, with
endurance that is enviable in
a dog half his age. Well, it’s
all back. We’ve hunted every
weekend for the last three
(after he’d been on the
supplements for a few
weeks), and he easily keeps
up with my younger setter –
a four-year-old named Jack,
and in fact, was still going
when the youngster gave out
on a long recent hunt."
- Tom Bryant
CJ's July Training Tip
Use of the E-Collar
in Teaching Staunchness, Steady to Wing and Steady to Shot
Dogs may become bird shy or “blinkers” if they associate corrections made with an E-collar in the neck area. In fact, I do not use an E-collar at all during early staunchness and steady to wing and shot training. I prefer to use a check cord cinched around the flank area. Always remember the E-collar is a reinforcing tool. It is used once your dog has learned a certain command using conventional methods.
Once your dog has learned to be fairly staunch and steady to wing utilizing the check cord, you can move to the E-Collar (black collar) hookup shown in the photo to reinforce staunchness and steadiness at a distance.
Dogs do not seem to associate the birds with corrections made by stimulation to the flank area as they would to the area around the neck. The receiver should be positioned on the upper side of the flank.
If your E-collar has several levels of stimulation be sure to set it at a low level as dogs are very sensitive in the flank area. Also, make sure it is not too tight but tight enough as to not slip around to the dogs under belly.
Stop by next month for another tip on bird dog training.
ZoomDog® is designed to meet the unique needs of upland bird and waterfowl dogs. We hunt. We work with dogs. We know their needs.
Your gun dog has special needs that other dogs don’t have. You need products designed for these special needs, not just any dog. We realize the special bond you have to your dog. They are active for longer periods of time, under often harsh conditions. They are in and out of kennels, constantly moving, sitting patiently in cold conditions, working through heavy cover, in and out of cold and other situations that most dogs never experience.
They need special ingredients to keep them strong, support their endurance and keep their joints flexible, allowing them to hunt for extended years. All that work, wear and tear on their joints means they need special nutrients to keep them hunting stronger and longer. Their skin and coats need to be healthy to keep them warm and healthy throughout hunting season, and year round. Your gun dog isn’t just a good hunting buddy, they are also an investment in time, money and affection. Keep them in peak condition and you’ll enjoy many more years of successful hunting with your special dog.
If your gun dog is showing any of these signs, you need to check out Hunt Dog Hunt™ Performance Formula with antioxidants and joint strength nutrients.
