Duck, not enough other birds around here.

Best way I learned to make one stay until commanded is dont let them eat until you tell them too. make them sit. Put food out. Wait for a while then tell them to eat. They will pick it up very quickly.


This is the best by far. I've done this with all my dogs for 15 years now.

I can "train" my dogs, but I don't have the skills or resources to do it as good as I expect it so I prefer to send them off. I can reinforce and bring my dog along once they have the basics.

Sounds like none of you would send your dogs off???

I had a english setter/pointer mix once. Smartest damn dog Ive ever had.

He trained very easily. Would point and hold etc. Maybe I just got a good dog. He didnt run wide radius. He naturally stayed pretty close to me so I didnt have to fight that issue.

GSP has a little more energy I believe.

Best two labs I have ever seen, my neighbor in college trained himself. He worked them 15-20 minutes everyday. Honestly I think that is the trick to having a good retriever. He didnt yell or get aggravated with his. Watched him tell his dogs to stay once, he left for the store and they didnt move until he got back and told them to go.

Ive never seen a dog professionally trained that was worth a shite though so my opinion is tainted.
