Retrieving Shot Birds – Upland Bird Dog Training
so she’s getting birdie here locked up
whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa hi cat here with
standing stone kennels and rogue as well
as Ethan the guy with the pink gun is
gonna be assisting me today because
we’re gonna be shooting birds over rogue
she’s 6 months old and if you’ve been
following along with her training
progress with these live videos
she has already had a burden gun
introduction we’ve already been out
having her point Birds and launchers and
she’s caller conditioned to recall now
if this is the first time you’re tuning
in and you’d like to catch up with where
she’s been at and what she’s been doing
definitely check out our YouTube channel
and you can follow right along so we’re
gonna head out to the field we’ve know
where our launchers are at which is
important we’re going to be using feral
pigeons or barn pigeons sometimes we
call them kill pigeons they’re basically
pigeons that we haven’t taught to home
so we don’t feel as bad shooting them
and then we’re gonna work on the
retrieving aspect side of things again
in these training situations timing is
really important so I’m going to try and
explain what’s going on and what’s
happening as it happens but if I have to
wait until after the situation unfolds
and explain afterwards we’ll do that too
so again thanks for tuning in remember
to Like comment share this video and for
the next 24 hours any like shares and
comments will enter you in a chance to
win a DT systems bird launcher so I
think we’re ready to hit the field so
today we don’t have a ton of breeze the
grass is nice and wet so we should have
fairly good scenting conditions we just
got an inch and a half of rain this
morning so things are a little bit of a
muddy mess out here
so rogues being a little bit cautious
you saw how she slowed up to smell
something that she hasn’t locked up
solid on anything yet so we’re just
gonna keep walking
and let her work to where we know the
bird is at which is why using these
launchers is really great is we can
ignore anything that she’s pointing that
we know isn’t a bird
we’re just letting her hunt and feel
comfortable with her her range and her
search you can see her kind of catching
scent up here she’s looking a little bit
birdie er let her work in until she’s
sure yep so she’s getting birdie here
locked up whoop
whoa whoa whoa
so I’m going to move out into the
lighter cover over here so that she can
make this or trees now again this is the
first time we’ve shot birds over her so
we might have to help her go finish that
mark
she’s short marked it a little bit so
that she can use her nose she looks like
she’s catching son-of it had a girl so
this one dropped and kind of thick cover
but we’re going to just keep letting her
work and use your nose
good girl rogue good girl good girl
good I’m just vibrating her back good
good girl that was really good
good girl so I’m gonna just do another
little retrieve toss for her she’s
checking out that launcher so I’m gonna
move up ahead where she’s not able to
smell that launcher Rogue rogue so
that’s where the launcher that I’m just
letting her check it out then I’m gonna
get her payin attention here get her
excited okay let her make another
retrieve add a girl call her back just
using vibrate good girl good girl
okay so put that one in my bag and we’ll
continue huh none
now one thing it’s important and this
happened without really saying anything
but if you’ve got somebody else helping
Gunung wise it’s important for them to
step out of the way it kind of helps to
prevent the distraction of somebody else
for the dog to try and bring the bird –
we want our handler to be able to work
with the dog without his distractions
especially when they’re this age
whoa whoa this one’s not sure where it’s
gonna go had a girl rogue good girl good
girl
girl good girl good want one more
retreat okay
she’s like I almost didn’t see that one
so she didn’t see that one there we go
good girl okay so I’m just gonna put
that bird in my bag and then talk
through some of the situations that we
had on these birds here so let me clip
rogue up here okay so call her back I’m
just gonna put her lead on her so that
we’ve got her under control while we’re
talking through this so
so on that first bird when she locked up
on that bird I wanted to draw attention
that I used woe and woe to her but then
I didn’t come up next to her and then
walk beside her to go in and flush that
bird I made sure that when she was on
point I came in perpendicularly that way
she’s not tempted to move forward with
me or even with Ethan when he was coming
in to gun and work with us into that
bird sometimes if you walk next to your
dog that’s gonna kind of give them the
pressure that they think that they need
to creep with you same thing on this
last bird I didn’t have it exactly
pinpointed she was pretty sure it was
here and the wind was coming across this
way she was looking at me
so I was walking in to flush and That
Bird was over here a little bit and
pigeons do some erratic things and this
one had a lot of hang time couldn’t
really decide which way it was going to
go but it definitely gave her a chance
to focus in on that bird’s flush to be
able to make that mark so and then as
you saw we were also able to do a couple
extra retrieves with her at the end so
that we could work on again her marking
that last one that I threw she didn’t
really see where it went she wasn’t
paying attention but then she was able
to key off of it and it’s important to
help work your puppies through marking
like on that first bird it dropped in
really thick cover that’s her first
marked bird retrieve that’s been shot
for her ever so we definitely had to
help work her down there
she had the wind advantage but we didn’t
want her to give up on it I just worked
walked down with her a little bit to
help build her confidence that yeah go
back out there and look for that bird a
little bit more so just was there any
questions that we had today okay and
like Ethan had mentioned when you got
multiple people out here we’ve got Ethan
this handling the shooting for us I’m
handling rogue and then we also have
Jess that’s out here helping camera
woman for us she’s got a pretty
interesting setup we might have to show
you some point in time but when you got
down the
people out here it’s easy for a little
puppy to get distracted and not be sure
where they need to go who they need to
go to so they always stepped away from
the situation let me get out in front of
where we’d been flushing the bird and
then I always got down into an inviting
position so that road could key off of
who she needed to bring that bird back
to and I just kept holding vibrate until
she got all the way back to me told her
she was a good girl praised her when she
set that bird down I just took it away
picked it up teased her a little bit did
another retrieve and then put it away so
well if there’s no questions again keep

be doing a drawing in the next 24 hours
