How do you train a hunting dog?

How would you train a hunting dogs?





Any methods and/or websites you could give me?How do you train a hunting dog?
Get a bottle of scent of the thing you are going to hunt with the dog.


Get some canvas training dummies.


Scent them and play with the dog.


Drag the dummy around the yard and then turn the dog out and let them find it.


Throw them and just play fetch with the pup.


You need to get them used to gun fire if you are going to hunt things.


I start my pups by banging the metal feeding pans really loudly then putting down the puppy food.


Then we take them out with an adult working dog and shoot rounds off over them while they are working. They fetch scented things and we shoot.


We take them out in the field with a experienced dog.


There are many books about training look for something about what you want to do with your dog. Eg; duck hunting or upland game birds or small furred game.How do you train a hunting dog?
You cant. It has to be in the spirit of the dog. You can guide a dog and train it your own commands but you can NOT train a dog to hunt.
For rabbit and duck hunting,


get a beagle,


Its in their soul they love hunting rabbits,


They are great family pets too.

That depends on what kind of dog, and what you want it to hunt.
