jake 1 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 join a dog training club ask at vets where is one near. they will teach you how to train your mutt sit, stay, stay with you out of sight, walk to heel, recall and much more. you will end up with a dog to be proud of and then you can take it hunting. DO IT ITS WORTH IT Quote Link to post

Dog will stick by your side through woods , strange fields etc but as above be aware of distractions such as livestock, people or wildlife. Keep calling the dog to you and just touch or stoke its head and praise it. This gives the dog confidence and reassures it. In no time you will feel confident enough yourself that if you meet someone or something that catches the pups attention the dog will return on recall, but also remember as a pup they are still a baby and play comes before anything so if you don,t get instant recall just relax and don,t show anger when the pup returns. Things get better as they get older. My 7 month old returns instantly but yesterday decided to play with a terrier he met and deafed me out. I just waited a short while then called again praising when he returned. All the best with the pup, and it will benefit much,much more off the lead than on it. Quote Link to post
Brian-911 210 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 if its a pup cant see it going more than ten feet away from you anyway when out in a field. but make sure theres nothing about to intice it to do so, as in another dog, cattle, people ect at least till the recalls sorted. and with it pulling on the lead simple way sit it on its ass whilst saying heel! as soon as it pulls a big jerk on the lead it'll learn. thats the way i've always done it and none of mineever pulled! unless they see something furry Quote Link to post
