Pups are growing up. Now they are 13 weeks old. I have 2 hanging out with me, plus a young lab. I also have 2 puppy byers that live close enough that I have been able to help them on and off. 2 weeks ago, we had a training day where we introduced the puppies to ducks and did a little bit of bird introductions and intro to tracking. This friday I had one stop by and we worked her on intro to gunfire.
There as many ways to accomplish this as there are dog trainers to tell ya. But I like to use a combination on prey drive and chain gang exposure. The minute I see an adverse reaction, I change tactics. But, I have been fortunate with this litter to have some very sound and confident youngsters. Here are some pictures.
Pups have to learn how to navigate marshy areas if they are to become good duck dogs.
Splash down!
Exploring new and higher grasses with dad.
Agape checking to make sure we are still coming. This pup is showing good cooperation at a young age.
Young Jake and Ivy. We used the beans as a natural barrior so that the young pups couldnt get to close to the bird traps and become startled by the launch.
Something smells good!
