Basic obedience as in Heal, Whoa, etc? What commands do you teach? Sit and down may not apply correct?

How do you put them on birds down here? Pigeons?

All the basic commands sit, stay, heal etc. are good to teach. It let's them know to obey and listen to you. It also builds a rapport between you and the dog.


I bought quail from a hatchery in Tenn. but I would not suggest that because the shipping killed a large portion. Checking craigslist you can find bobwhite and even chukar within a couple hours. The non-flight conditioned bobwhites were still able to fly good enough for training.

I had the help of a K9 officer that did private lessons - basically showed us the proper way to train and reinforce the commands - once out GSP completed the basics needed for around the house and in the woods - we started to train with her ecollar - she has been working to train to track deer this season, she is still young but does good but is easily distracted by her nose and drive to point. She won't point a dead deer but anything that is alive during the track gets a good point. She has been a great dog in the woods and an even better family companion.
