Hunt, Turn, Stop Training Day

This training day focuses on enhancing the dogs hunting pattern. We will work on our stop whistle and our turn whistle, making sure the dog understands the command and listens to it. We will work on the hunt pattern in isolation, talk about using the ground and wind, and how this can be advanced to include retrieves. We will then hunt in pairs, getting the dog used to test scenarios and working alongside each other. We will finish the day with a mock beating line.

The day is NOVICE level.

To participate in this day your dog must:

• Have reliable recall

• Have good general obedience
