Mordor Gundogs is a training school for family pet dogs, gundogs and their owners. Based in Perthshire - Scotland, we train and breed dogs to suit specific living arrangements, as well as working dogs to perform in the shooting field.
Nice to see you training a Golden. I bought my Golden from a gundog trainer/breeder who I believe is very similar to you in terms of his age, experience and training methods. I’m pretty sure he mainly works with Goldens and Labs and so I’ve often wondered why you never feature goldens in your videos.

I've trained my dogs for bird hunting for years. I've had a rescued lab with unknown pedigree and I've had a lab I've spent $$$$ on from a repected breeder. The bred pup was soo much more biddable and concentrated. Loved them both and hunted both but the road was much easier with the pedigreed puppy. Spend the money

Absolutely love your channel. Your blunt but humorous manner of explaining things, really helps to cut through the chaff that is the world of dog training today. So often I’ve been given the message that anything other than positive reinforcement in training is ‘wrong.’ Yet from being a teacher of children myself, I know that there is a place for positive reward, coupled with boundaries and an understanding of consequences. I’ve had to step away from solely reward based training and have just this weekend, started to work with a trainer with my 5 month old Labrador, who uses tools such as a slip lead, to communicate with the dog. This morning I walked my dog along the lane for about 1/2 mile to heel with maybe one correction. This is after ONE training session and without the constant streaming of treats. When I listen to your advice and see you with your dogs, it just reinforces to me that I’m making the right training choices for my puppy. Thank you!!

Tone matters, sometimes I force my dog to obey with pushing his bottom down or tugging his lead every time, but today what worked great for me was the tone of my voice. I'm slowly learning this type of dog 17month old English/German pointer with Brittany springer few generations ago too. His very emotive type of dog. So when I put a great emphasis, using emotion behind my tone, it works so good, he obeys. (sometimes overly loud which most normal humans would consider you a screw lose). But that's what gets this hound dogs attention, (high pitch whistle is great too) It's easy to become droning or monolog though and off he's gone, especially with the exercise this dog requires. Not every morning, day, night can I be hitting the right melody for him. LOL. Yesterday i watched a video of yours that said runn off from your dog. So last night I tried running off from him at the park every time he got embroiled in a sniff or went another way round some trees/bushes. Made him think I was going one way, then changed direction. It was fun XD my GF was laughing. He does love it when I jog, he gets pretty clingy actually. Haha Meanwhile I leave no stone unturned or any tools out of the box whilst guiding his path. I'm using everything I can.

My 5 month old puppy knows what I’m asking of him when I ask him to … sit, stay, wait, down and heel yet I find sit the hardest one to reinforce. When I try to push his bottom down if he doesn’t do it first time, he turns and tries to playfully bite my hand as if it’s a game! What should I do about this? It’s annoying.

Work at it while he’s on lead. Hold the lead in such a way that he can’t reach around to your hand.

Agree. I’ve found a gentle upward pop tug on a slip lead more effective than pushing down on a wriggly springer spaniel
@labradormom3656Күн бұрын
@@nzgoldie Will do. I use a slip lead to train him to walk to heel, so will incorporate more ‘sits’ when we are out and about and he’s on lead. Hopefully, that will reinforce the sit elsewhere, when he’s off lead. Thank you.

This is so true! I catch myself once in a while doing the same and it doesn’t work. One of the most illogical things to me is people just calling the name of their dogs when they’re naughty, want them to come or simply get their attention. Somehow some are still surprised the dog ignores them completely 😅. Be clear what you want from them.
