Introducing Retired Guns

 

Training young retrievers to run retired guns is a methodical process focused on building good habits and instilling confidence. By following a structured approach, you can ensure your dog learns to mark accurately, hunt thoughtfully, and remain confident.

In this video lesson, I discuss:  

  1. Important Prerequisites

  2. Good Marking Habits

  3. Setting Up Retired Guns & Equipment Needed

  4. Training Process & Gunner Instructions

  5. Repetition & Early Progression

Taking the time to properly develop good marking habits will lead to a successful hunt test or field trial career.
