Training of hunting puppies
The training of hunting puppies is in many ways similar to the training of other dogs, but at the same time has a number of features. How to train hunting puppies?
The training of hunting puppies has 2 components:
- Obedience training. This part is practically no different from training dogs of other breeds.
- Special training, which depends on the purpose of the dog and its breed.
Obedience training is necessary so that the puppy can easily exist in the society of people and other animals. In addition, it helps in further special training of hunting puppies.
Special training of hunting puppies is aimed at developing the skills necessary for hunting. The special training of burrowing greyhounds is called “addition”, the training of hounds is called “nataska”, and the training of cops is called “nataska”. Features of the special training of hunting puppies depend on the type of hunting for which the breed was bred.
It must be borne in mind that not every puppy of a hunting breed will prove itself well as a hunter. And getting a puppy of a hunting breed “on the sofa” and not allowing him to realize his potential, you may encounter a number of difficulties.
For “profile” training of hunting puppies, it is better to use the services of a specialist who knows the characteristics of the breed and type of hunting, which means that he clearly understands how and what skills a dog needs to be taught.
