Retrieve training is great to wear out my GSP, the problem is she only needs a 5 min recharge before her batteries have her bouncing off the walls again
Our GSP favorite exercise is swimming and frisbee. We just got home from playing frisbee at the dog park for 2 hours and he's exhausted. Snoring so loud right now! 😂 Thanks for another great video!
I been using the bumper exercise w/ an American Pointing Lab. The lab is insane about retrieving so no worry there but I have also been scenting the bumper w/ upland bird scent. I then toss the bumper into heavy cover and let the lab find by scent. Seems to be working quite well. She'll not stop until she finds it even in the heaviest of cover .. like cattails for instance.
Thanks for this. I have a nearly 2 yr. old english setter. Can't seem to get him too interested in fetch or retrieving. I have a dokken deadfowl pheasant injected with scent, bumpers, etc. Going to try to start at the beginning again.
my dog lives to retrieve, or play push the ball…yesterday i started to teach her to pick up her toys….😁2 year old Border Point. I had a lab I had to teach fetch, he never really wanted to, but found the treats rewarding. I used a long line to give him the nudge to return…it worked. Teach the game find it, it’s helped when my pup didn’t see it land, especially in snow…but the border collie/GSP-Border Point I guess is more hardwired for this characteristic….but i taught my golden this same trick…arm pointing the direction for him to go….it’s also a fun game.
@@StandingStoneKennels thanks for the video, any new thing to learn helps us with our dogs…and you know too well, for us with high energy dogs I’m always looking for things to wear her out! I learned how to safely play tug with her from a trainer on RUclips, this access to training tips is so valuable. I’ve taught her to put her tug toy away when we’re done…it’s so cute to watch…she goes into a beautiful sit waiting for her favorite treat….behaving😂. She’s been the most mouthy pup I’ve ever had, she was dropping off at the shelter at 5 weeks old, we adopted her at 7 weeks, but she’s basically past the behavior, or understands it’s not allowed…but finding a really good video addressing that…everything suggested didn’t work, at about 1.5 yrs I realized she’s just too soft, so i used more coversation with her, it worked, just calmly talking, calm soft no’s…ignoring some of it, redirecting….her brain was able to quiet…and she’s so smart, low talking interests her, realizing some important information is being said…I’ve taught “show me” when I can’t find the ball…again snow….and I’ve started using that when I’m not sure what she wants…she listens….and then does a better job of showing me…instead of frustrating mouthing. Any videos you have or could create would be helpful dealing with mouthing, and training the soft dog. My other dogs have been from breeders…this is my first step into rescuing a dog. (The notes from the shelter said all the pups were muddy, so not pristine treatment…so some baggage came with her….but we’re through the challenges). Really enjoy your videos, thanks again for replying….through your videos I’ve learned about the GSP side to her innate behaviors, helps me in training.
I have a German shorthaired pointer. I adopted her from the pound at 3 years old. She's super annoying when I don't run her around the neighborhood a couple times a day. I ride a electric bike and she runs beside me for about a mile while we take a lap around the neighborhood through the little park near my house. I do that twice a day and she's totally co with that and it takes about 7 to 8 minutes. The electric bicycle is definitely recommended.
I call it knocking the edge off em'. the best fetch tool I have found is a regular chuckit from any store with dog stuff and then order lacrosse balls from online or a sports store that has them. Those hard balls carry a long ways and the dog wont hurt it. but careful the ball can break stuff.
Please be careful with lacrosse balls, my dogs littermate choked to death catching one and I promised to always spread the word. I wish they made a larger size with that same material as it is great for the tough chewers
Oh yeah! This fills our GSP, "Lady's" love tank AND wears her out on the days that we don't run with her. Lady LOVES fetch and is such the "lady" in the house afterwards 😀👍... if it could just fix her counter surfing! 🤔
They have videos that address that.... ruclips.net/video/3e2IpEkNIig/видео.html ruclips.net/video/L8DSwnvPimo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/qYn3j6SfZw4/видео.html
How old is Clay? We're training a female GSP that's 3 months old and see a lot of encouraging behavior, but wearing her out is definitely key to having a peaceful day while in the house.
In an area where my dogs can get run over by a car if they dont recall well, i have been so thankful for the e-collar. I felt like the training was more rapid. Especially if the dog is wanting to do their own thing.
YAWA: with your experience in the different breeds you work with most often (looks like GSP vs GWP/dd vs Brittany), what have you noticed about their differences in general regarding temperament, trainability, strengths, and versatility (eg. which dog is usually more single-minded prey driven? Which is a better shed hunter/pointer/family companion?) Y'all put out great info, keep up the good work.
I have never had to use a collar teaching my dogs to fetch. I start when they are young in a hallway where there are no distractions or options other than bring it back. I build their prey drive by animatedly bouncing, dragging item just out of their reach, using my voice too. Then I toss a short distance. If they don't want to let go I can trade kibble and begin "drop it" training. I am patient and know it can take weeks but sometimes only days. We practice everyday, usually in the morning when they are refreshed. Slowly I elongate distance of toss and head towards more distracting environments. Having them on a long line helps if they won't come back. However, I don't want them to fail, not even once so I keep reps short of how many I think they will do and keep distance shorter than I think possible and end on a high note. My lab mix is absolutely crazy about his tennis ball now. He will sprint 50 yards and nail the ball and sprint back to me. Great exercise!
Owner of a one year old high bred Brittany. Curious why you don't give the Fetch command when you throw the bumper. Seems to me it would be useful to say Fetch and point in the general direction of the bumper instead of leading the dog to it. Love your vids. Subscribed.
I have a 3.6 lb Shih-tzu. He is 1.5 yo, and is getting more and more confident away from me. He has no recall. I have a e-collar that I use on my 5 lb Yorkie. The shihtzu is baby sensitive. So I am afraid of using it. Will the e-collar method be okay for him?
Hey! I'm not a professional or anything and this is 2 years later, but if you want a quick fix having two of the same toy can work well! When they're bringing back the object have the second one hidden behind your back, then once they come back with the object and start chewing it at your feet or even before they start doing that, reveal the one behind your back. Get their interest in it and send them for another fetch! Repeat this with the toy at your feet. You may the second one much more interesting by adding movement that they no longer want to chew on the first one. As you do this you can add a verbal cue like "drop" as they leave the first toy to get they second toy. You can also up the requirement for getting the second toy i.e. placing it in your hand. :)
This is my first time training a male hunting dog. He is constantly getting distracted and find spots to “mark” when we are training, any tips? He is a 10 month yellow lab, thanks!
There is a small chain that you can throw by the dog when it misbehaves away from you. Throw and shout no! Practice with them in close range first, then increase distance slowly. In the small space they learn that you can still affect them when off the lead, they then think the same in the larger space. They also associate the No! with repercussions. So, to recap, you throw the chain by the dog so it hits the floor hard, not at the dog. Sprenger make a two stranded one called a throwing chain and it whistles through the air too. Sprenger make brilliant collars etc also. This is how the trainers did it back then. Hope this helps
@@StandingStoneKennels Love them, have had 5 over the years. I didn't intend to put your training techniques down, it's just that I don't personally agree with e-collars. Best of luck with your channel, beautiful gsp by the way.
Seeing y’all’s struggles really makes me feel better about my training work.
How real it is, is most helpful!

Do y’all have a video about different vitamins and the types of food you feed your dogs? We have a 3 year old GSP and 10 month old GWP.
We don’t actually. This is a really big topic and there are lots of different options out there!

Also I miss Patraeon very much. It was a great tool.
We miss chatting!
yo my pink gunned friend.... my dog loves to retrieve the bumper and loves the praise of bringing it to me but she could care less outside any tips
You guys had a tail docking and dew claw removal video. Where did it go?
Taken down for now.
@@StandingStoneKennelsoh ok I thought I was going crazy scrolled all your videos like 3 times 🤣
At what point do you start steadying them on retrieves?
Once we have built drive!
I click on "shop for training supplies" and it says that site is not reachable
I’ll fix this!0
I have a 4 yr old GSP. My wife and I are scared to let her run,What's the best thing to do? Please give us a idea. Thank you.

Get a long-line.
When not training. Do you let your dogs have any toys to play with
My one year old GSP won’t drop the object when he brings it back to us (just chews on it at our feet). Any video to address that or suggestions?
We need more to evaluate what to do!

Be his boss. Don't let him dictate your training or really anything in general. A dog isn't happy calling the shots, but he will do it if you don't.
Use a long line to reel him in as necessary. More reps at a shorter distance. Train everyday and he will be birdogging you to toss before too long
Do you have an alternative way, without the collar ? Because collars are not legal, where I am from.
There is a small chain that you can throw by the dog when it misbehaves away from you. Throw and shout no! Practice with them in close range first, then increase distance slowly.

I love this dog?
Can someone tell me what is the name of the breed?
thks
German shorthaired pointer
@@ThorstenWolters13 You are right!!!!
Teach your GSP to catch a frisbee! It draws a crowd and wears them out.
Fun idea!!
Why are tales cut off? They got such beautiful tails
My problem is, mine doesn’t care for retrieving 🤣
My puppy. Will not bring the toy back after second toss
Only bad trainers need e-collars. Never needed one ever for any of my dogs and I've had a lot of dogs over the years. Just my opinion.
Thanks for watching! Are you a fan of border collies?
@@StandingStoneKennels Love them, have had 5 over the years. I didn't intend to put your training techniques down, it's just that I don't personally agree with e-collars. Best of luck with your channel, beautiful gsp by the way.
@@bordercollie1140 Thanks for the comment! Collies are a bit different breed, but i agree all dogs can be trained without the use of an ecollar!
Too much yakking.

Then don’t listen. 😂 It’s called “explanation and instruction.”
