Most of the time we are able to achieve this in the launcher part of the pointing training. We use it for confidence, if a dog is not sure the bird is there. We also use the beep to introduce backing, if a dog is on top, and another dog is coming in, we beep, and they honor. In summary, the beeper conditioning helps the dog to make less mistakes, and to be more successful.
When I bought my initially launcher with a beeper, I thought, what a waste of a feature, I can remember where I place my launchers. Now we condition each dog to top the beeper. This way if a dog is not vacant to top, we beep the launcher, and the dogs stops and points, if properly conditioned to the beep. This way, we build on success. Ideally a dog would never bump a bird, and top everything.
I like your videos and know and agree with how you are breaking down the steps for the dog. I am new to pointing dogs, but I don’t know why you would want the dog to learn to top at the beep. Pointing at the smell, yes. Beep, ?
Is this for a whoa association later on, or am I just missing it?
Please don’t take my inquiry as negative criticism. I really am asking why.
Very nice video. Methods are sound while reinforcing small steps to gain continued success. You guys do a fantastic job working with dogs to build a reliable, sound and confident hunting partner.
Not sure if that was for me but thanks that is what I was looking for. Hoping for a part 2 but if not thanks very much. I used a small different approach with my last dog but I reflect this is much better.
