I have a dog that gets really hyped up and vocal. It's all out anticipation like a horse going to the starting gate. Letting him burn off some steam a bit actually fizzles out the crazy whining. It's something at the start of the day. Just knowing he is going to be retrieving will start this intense enthusiasm. He loves it. This is that drive. I'll take the whining with that drive. I'm not about to completely mute my dog. He can do hunt retrieving and work SAR which asks for him to alert bark. I've been connecting the word "quiet" to get him to not be so vocal. That and "speak" to bark. He is a field lab that trains similar to a Malinois. I like to train after letting a dog burn off some energy. I do the same with horses. We don't train until some energy gets burned off for the first 20-30 minutes. Different species, but it has worked for me with Thoroughbreds training for eventing. These horses sometimes have anticipation issues in the start box for cross country. With horses, the key is to stay chill to transfer that same mental state to the horse. Dogs read our energy too. Over time, I have had to ignore my hot head lab's antsy pantsy antics, and have him do a lot of sitting and waiting by not rewarding the fired up behavior with a retrieve. He gets the idea now so I can enforce quietness if need be. He recognizes when I'm serious. Overall, I love the intense drive. It makes training super easy because of all of that motivation that's there. It gives me a versatile dog that enjoys working and mentally wants to figure things out to get that retrieve reward. One thing that slows him down is to make retrieves more challenging using blind nose work to find that bird. These intense dogs will persist until it is found. The nice thing is if I have to skip a few days of training this dog does have an off switch. Very helpful tips. Huge thanks for this channel.
fantastic content. ive always tryed to have good dogs lab,collie,whipit and now back to labs. im now following your tips with my own ways and my 7 month old lab is amazing love your channel but miss seeing bella. do you know how bella has been getting on? respect from scotland
I’ve watched a few Videos and found hold conditioning really useful. My 3yr old Labrador is brilliant on dummy’s but on pheasants he drops the birds early and also he get very excited on peg and starts yapping when a lot of birds fly over. Any advice would be great
