Let him play, throw live pigeon or quail out in front of him in a cage, let him go for it, after 2 or 3 minutes take the cage with bird in it and run away, put it up, get his mind on other things, repeat this several times during the 0 to 6 months age! About 6 months bench work him on "WHOA", no pressure, firm his style, tail up, chin up! Put him out with caged bird again, after scenting he should point, WHOA him with leash, firm him up, go from there!
Anyone have any good means/methods of enhancing the pointing instinct in 12 week old GSP pup? I have a fenced in back yard that is currently full of snow, but I would like to enhance the pointing sensation for the pup in the house. Any ideas?
