Training Gundogs

Paul Rawlings
This film presents a step-by-step guide to training a gundog. It explains how to teach a puppy good behaviour and a young dog obedience before formal gundog training begins. Topics covered include: clear expert guidance and invaluable practical footage; uses gundogs of various breeds and ages to explain the basics of obedience training; key approach is to 'train the trainer' and reward good behaviour at the right time to ensure success; formal training is shown with the dogs learning skills such as hunting, steadiness, retrieving and delivery, directional work and negotiating obstacles, and finally the training culminates in a simulated shooting-field scenario.
