Teaching Your Dog To Be Steady With Platform Training

Jennifer Broome of Quinebaug Kennels demonstrates simple platform training techniques that will help with keeping your dog steady while in the field or just around the house.


	Comment By: David Dvorak How would you transition this platform training to the field? I surely would not carry a platform bird hunting.

		Reply By: Jennifer Broome Hi Dave, That is a good question. When we spend the countless hours training dogs in the yard environment, it is to teach the basic obedience and foundation. We are trying to create the conditioned responses to our commands, whether it is sit, fetch, whoa, etc. The yard training is done in an environment of consistency and repetition. The goal of yard work is to teach, enforce, and correct when needed. Then once pup is doing these tasks in the yard, then they will perform that same conditioned response to the field. Once in the field, IF I need to enforce or correct, I can successfully because the idea is (we have been there, done that!) in the yard, so it should come as no surprise when I enforce in the field, around birds, or the gun. If you diligently do your teachings in the yard, then you can later enforce in the field...and the goal is that pup will NOT see the field as a negative thing (where they may blink, shut down, or bolt) rather they will choose to comply...because they learned it already in the yard.
