Thx Jennifer

what if the dog switches?

I don’t understand what you’re doing. Do you have a full video of this?

You had great composure, no excessive whistle blowing or nervous hand movements, etc. Great job, your dog is proud of you. Great tips. Thank you.

Enjoyed watching this!

Question: Does your dog have to sit? I have a Griff that I would like to do JH with... but we don’t like them to sit since he primarily is an upland dog.

How old is he in this video?

Nice to see positive training in america for hunting retrievers. Not Shock collars...

Feeding your dog is considered training on the grounds, should be a fail if you get caught.

Excellent video. Thank you very much.

Single marks in Junior dogs can be difficult sometimes. In this podcast, we discuss why from the retriever's perspective: missskeeter.podbean.com/e/single-marks-and-the-akc-junior-retriever-hunting-test/

Thank you for sharing Jennifer. Very helpful!

Which type of test is this? Akc?

Jennifer, are you running hunt tests or field trials?

Excellent vids! Love,seeing you use treats and not an e collar

Wow! Thanks for posting this-I think you're the first positive trainer I've seen doing a hunt test. So it *can* be done! I'm hoping to get a JH with my lab but it's tough finding a gun-dog specific trainer who doesn't use compulsion (or who will work with you if you don't), so I'm watching videos and trying to work the skills with the help of a force-free trainer. These videos are great-thanks again.

Very good, thank you.

Good video,

Excellent! Eye contact is important and this team has it! Eye contact (engagement) is important because ultimately the retriever will be running a blind retrieve away from the handler, the whistle sit mean turn around, quickly sit and pay attention to the handler for a cast to the blind. Later sit and wait for a reward helps build the habit of sitting and engaging with the handler, waiting for the cast helps prevent an "autocasting" behavior. When sending to the food bowl, I like to introduce the cue "good" when pup is focused on the food bowl. ...that cue is important later to inform the retriever he is focused on the correct destination for a good initial line in the blind retrieve.

Excellent! One thing to keep in mind is when a young pup comes home for the first time he will be MISSING MOM and in a strange new environment. Some pups may not retrieve the first week or so until they get over missing mom and become comfortable with the pup's owner..these types of pups can soon become excellent retrievers once they get past this early phase. If puppy will not retrieve the first week or so, don't worry! Puppy walks are a great way to get pup familiar with you and his new environment.

Good job Jennifer!

Great stuff Jennifer.
