Trainer: Harold Adams and Dave Meisner
Format: VHS
Duration: 45 Min
An aspect of training pointing dogs that is often neglected is retrieving. Since many pointing dogs - especially pointers and setters - are not noted for the natural retrieving ability, some of the owners settle for sloppy or incomplete retrieves, or they may not require retrieving at all. But the completely training pointing dog should be a reliable retriever. Among his duties, the complete pointing dog is there to see to it that dead and cripple birds are not lost. Any dog. Regardless of breed, it can be taught to retrieve - reliably, every time - using the tried and proven "force break" method as shown in this
dog training video. Properly done, force-breaking produces happy and enthusiastic companion that absolutely loves to retrieve.
