We are Losing Legendary Methods (Obedience and Discipline) – By T. Mostert
Tok Mostert, a Professional Hunter from South Africa, now living in Sweden, is sharing his writings on dog training with us. You can start reading them from Part 1 here. We are Losing Legendary Methods (Obedience and Discipline) – By T. Mostert This is purely my opinion, what I believe and have experienced, there are many other opinions and beliefs when it comes to training obedience. Clickers, treats, positive conditioning, e-collars, positive – negative training, in the end there are as many methods as there are dog breeds. Everyone sells their method as the gospel, as the only way to train a dog. Then you have the other side of the…

Dare fiducia a uno spirito libero
Questo articolo nasce dalla passeggiata in campagna di stamattina, le mie camminate in campagna sono sempre buona fonte di ispirazione! Oggi ho pensato che, quando esci con un setter inglese, tutti i tuoi sensi devono essere attivi al fine di localizzare il cane che, come la razza comanda, appare e scompare. Lo puoi sentire quando è dietro agli alberi, o quando sta uscendo da un cespuglio; lo puoi vedere quando corre libero si terreni aperti. A volte, quando si rotola in “qualcosa”, ne puoi perfino sentire l’odore. No, non puoi sentirne il sapore, né toccarlo ma, negli anni, hai sicuramente sviluppato un sesto senso capace di dirti dove si trova…

Trusting a Free Spirit
This article stems from this morning walk. My walks in the countryside are always a good source of inspiration. Today I realized that, when you are “walking” an English Setter, all your senses have to be well alert in order to locate the dog who, as the breed demands, appears and disappears from your sight. You can hear him when is behind the trees, or coming out from a bush; you can see him when he is running free on a open ground. You can sometimes even smell him when he rolls into “something” and, no, you cannot taste nor touch him but, along the years, you have surely developed…

We are Losing Legendary Methods (Waterwork)– by T. Mostert
Tok Mostert, a Professional Hunter from South Africa, now living in Sweden, is sharing his writings on dog training with us. You can start reading them from Part 1 here. We are Losing Legendary Methods (Waterwork)– by T. Mostert There are a few issues with water retrieves that you do not have with land retrieves. Some dogs enter water easily, others need a little encouragement and then some need a push. When to push will depend on where the dog is mentally, too soon and you may install a permanent fear of water in the dog. As stated before, the dog should enjoy training and you should make it a fun…

We are Losing Legendary Methods (Retrieves 2)– by T. Mostert
Tok Mostert, a Professional Hunter from South Africa, now living in Sweden, is sharing his writings on dog training with us. You can start reading them from Part 1 here. We are Losing Legendary Methods (Retrieves 2)– by T. Mostert A few more things I learned from Jeppe and Arne on training a dog to retrieve before I moved on to training for water work. Some dogs will try and move around you once they have retrieved the game (or the dummy), almost as if they want to circle around you, do not allow this. You can stop the dog from doing this by training against a fence, or with a…

Part 2: We are Losing Legendary Methods (Retrieves) – by T. Mostert Arne played a major role in training Flake for water retrieves, but before a dog can retrieve in water, he has to be able to do this perfectly on land! So, let’s take a step back. Too many folks have opinions on which method is the best, force fetch or the natural fetch training method. Dogs react to movement: you throw a ball and the dog wants to chase,…

We are Losing Legendary Methods 2 – by T. Mostert
Tok Mostert, a Professional Hunter from South Africa, now living in Sweden, is sharing his writings on dog training with us. You can start reading them from Part 1 here. Part 2: We are losing legendary methods (Tracking) By the time Flake was 8 months old, I could do a left or right retrieve on command, I could stop her on the way out to one retrieve and switch her to the other, Jeppe Stridh made extra effort with us, I figure it paid off. It was time to get her to track blood so we could work our way to getting her qualified as a Swedish Blood Tracking Champion. Time…

We are Losing Legendary Methods 1 – by T. Mostert
Brief intro: here at Dogs & Country we are often looking to publish good articles, articles dog people can benefit from. I (Rossella) was therefore very happy when Tok Mostert, from Sweden, accepted to share his writings with us and our readers. At the moment, unfortunately, I do not have time to translate them in Italian, but if anyone wants to help out with the translation, I’d be happy to share that as well 🙂 Part 1: We are losing legendary methods Two years ago I came into the hunting dogs world, I knew nothing, I could not make a dog sit or stay, much less retrieve, track or hunt…

Quando il pragmatismo incontra l’addestramento
Ci sono situazioni in cui avere accanto qualcuno pragmatico e affidabile è essenziale. Non parlo solo di quei soldati che, in battaglia, necessitano commilitoni decisi e pieni di senso pratico, il pragmatismo serve anche ai cinofili. In special modo a quei cinofili con i capelli rossi, persi nelle loro filosofie e seguaci di sciamani, costoro hanno assoluta fame di senso pratico. Dopo aver religiosamente seguito Penna Bianca per più di sei mesi, Briony aveva deciso che era giunto il momento di un cambiamento: pretendeva meno disciplina e più libertà, due entità che faticano a trovare un punto d’incontro. I terreni di addestramento di Penna Bianca, inoltre, non erano più disponibili:…

Dall’obbedienza al fermo al frullo
Non appena Briony si è esibita nei primi fermi al frullo, gonfia di orgoglio, ho postato alcuni video su Facebook. La strada che ci aveva condotto a un solido fermo al frullo era stata lunga ed ero assolutamente felice di aver ottenuto un risultato che, mesi prima, mi era sembrato irraggiungibile. Briony era stata acquistata per diventare il mio cane da caccia personale e, in effetti, era un buon cane da caccia. Ottimo senso del selvatico, ferma solida, discreto riporto ma, come tutti i cacciatori italiani, non avevo mai pensato che mi potesse servire un cane fermo al frullo. Ignoravo il problema e, così, per anni la cagnina ha potuto…
