Teaching Steadiness to Your Pointing Dog

from The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast · host Terry Ann Fernando

Steadiness can be one of the most challenging things to teach to your pointing dog. In this episode, I talk about the general process of teaching steadiness, regardless of the method you are using. I discuss common mistakes I see people making and those I was guilty of with Zara. I also go into detail about the process I'm using to teach Lanka to be steady on birds.
