Dummy training with retrievers

A hunting dog needs a meaningful activity - that much is clear. Dummy training could be just the right thing for you and your hunting dog! Together, you can work on exciting retrieving tasks in nature.

Dummy training is also suitable if you want to give your hunting dog a demanding job during the non-hunting season. In addition, you will train basic obedience, your dog's steerability at a distance, and the use of its nose, all of which will benefit you in hunting operations.

In the webinar, you will learn about the hunting origin of dummy work, we will shed light on the individual sub-areas and then dive directly into training with you.

Learn in this webinar:

• how you and your (hunting) dog can benefit from dummy training
• how dummy training works
• how to introduce your (hunting) dog to dummy work in a meaningful way
• how dummy training benefits you in hunting operations
