Training a Gun-shy Dog – Part 3
After the setback where Quling got terrified of the gunfire at a hunt (covered in a previous post), we began further back in the training process and quite quickly built us up to where we had been before the incident. So, I figured I’d begin shooting for him...The first month with my puppy – what have we done?
The first month with Flippa has, of course, mostly been about bonding, cozying up, getting to know each other and finding good routines for everyday life. I have also carefully studied her to understand who she is and how she works – it is, after all, a very fun time...Training a Gun-shy Dog – Part 2
