Training is something today's battle blah bad dog army attaining R+ content, which is great for those of us who are newer to the to it and haven't built up our own resources as yet, A big thank you to those who provide much great stuff Thanks for including channel! It's honor to be included. Lots of great trainers out there. For channel, the one that's listed is actually old channel and it doesn't have of videos any more. I sold Ahimsa Dog Training to one of fab staff members this The videos you might have seen on the old channel are now on the new one instead. I've also been adding a lot of videos about training puppy, the new one is really a much better channel. I have two more names to throw out from the UK. I'm not a UK native, but these two are favorites of mine. Nando Brown of In the Doghouse he likes to bring a bit of British humor to some of his videos but he's very good at explaining what he's doing. Second is John McGuigan from Scotland He's very serious the way he instructs and can be a bit hard for Americans to understand at times, but he's very technical and methodical his approach. I Donna glad to them on the list. I have a suggestion for another trainer who's great at training complex behaviors. Check out zsianz1 on Youtube. Also, for another creme de la creme trainer, Chirag Patel's Domesticated Manners anyone who wants to condition a dog to wear a muzzle or headcollar needs that one! training, as actual live tracking, we work the dogs at all times on a 20 to 30 foot leash which does not up as a short leash does. Light clothes line do to start. Eight mm. mountain climbing cord is good for smaller dogs and the eleven mm. size works better on the pointer-sized dogs. We start 10 week-old puppies with short 100 foot lines dribbled with deer blood. We get this from deer that we find, carrying it double Ziplock bags and later freezing it until needed pint containers. Plastic margarine containers are good. It is important to put a prize a piece of deer skin, a deer tail or even a dead woodchuck at the end of the line. Age the line 15 minutes or and let the pup bark at and chew on the prize when he finds it. When the pup likes to track and has some powers of concentration, she be introduced to longer and older lines, laid out with drops of deer blood from a squeeze bottle. You can also place the blood with a small square of sponge tied to a light four foot stick. We place a half or whole frozen deer skin at the end of the line. out your line with strips of paper stapled to trees or with surveyors' tape tied on trees that you know where the line is even when the blood is too thin to be seen by eye. Use a drop or a dab of blood at every stride. Start with easy lines aged from two to four hours. A line of three to four hundred yards is plenty. As the dog improves use less blood, age the lines up to 24 hours and increase the distance up to half a mile. Talk to your dog and give lots of praise especially when the dog finds the deer. It is better to let the dog make his own mistakes and figure out how to correct himself. You do not want to develop a dog which is dependent upon you for guidance. 't overdo the training. The dog learns best if tracking is not allowed to become a chore with a lot of heavy discipline. Generally one training session with one line each week is plenty. Most dogs run into problems tracking because they get bored or distracted by more interesting things like hot deer lines. Under normal conditions almost any hunting dog is capable of following a blood line placed the day before, if he is motivated. Concentrate on motivating the dog with praise and positive reinforcement. Before a dog becomes useful for finding wounded deer he must be able to maintain concentration on the old wounded deer scent line even when confronted by a healthy deer or a hot line. Once the dog knows what is expected he should be worked over blood lines laid where deer are known to be present. Use positive reinforcement for what the dog is doing right rather than negative punishment for mistakes. The more the dog is motivated to please you the easier training be. The dog that can follow a blood line laid with pint of blood and aged 20 to 24 hours
