The infancy of a pointing retriever. Havent trained many dogs with more prey drive than this little lady. Ida (Deets x Crow’s Sage)#antlerpointgundogs #apgundogs #pointingdog #pointinglabs #gundogs #huntingdogs #familydogs
A simple stroll in hunting grounds does so much for socializing a young put - building confidence and schema. #antlerpointgundogs #apgundogs #gundogtrainining #gundogtrainer #huntingdogs #gundogs #workingdogs #familydogs #dogtrainer #dogtraining #coaching #mentoring #sheddogs

Coach ‘em - encourage ‘em - cheer ‘em on … but make ‘em do it!Socialization and Confidence Building 101. #antlerpointgundogs #apgundogs #gundogtrainers #gundogtraining #gundogs #waterdogs #dogtraining #dogtrainer #sheddogs #familydogs
If you’ve followed us for awhile, you know the emphasis we place on properly socializing puppy. Part of that process is putting your puppy in challenging situations and having them figure it out. It takes patience and encouragement … and you have to allow them to figure it out. I was explaining the process from a young person perspective. Remember the first time you did something that was frightening … standing on the edge of the proverbial cliff, coaching yourself to jump in to the water below? It took a minute the first time. But the second and third time … it was easier. That’s what this time is for your gundog. Allow them to know they can do it … build that confidence in them. #antlerpointgundogs #apgundogs #gundogtraining #gundogtrainer #dogtraining #dogtrainer #gundogs #huntingdogs #familydogs #labrador #retriever

Another important part of the socialization of gundog pups in training is introducing them to challenges and obstacles - and let them figure out a way around, over, or through.
You can offer coaching and encouragement - but don’t help … remember the life you are training them for.
This is such an important process in the development of your gundog. You’re allowing them to gain the confidence they will need to be a well rounded pup.
And it has to happen “out there” in different settings. New schema each time. The more you introduce them to, the more they are acclimated to - the less distractions they will have when the hunt starts.
And - let’s be honest. The best part of training a dog is watching them do something for the first time. That will happen often during this time of socializing your hunting partner.

Ashe (Deets x Kate)
Celebrities for a Cause Inc. pup, Ashe (Deets x Kate) putting in the basics - doing the small things to the best of her ability … no task too small for this pup. Because at the end of the day - in the home or in the field - we want our dogs well behaved.
We’ve started a solid foundation with this pup. She is crate trained - sit, stay, heel, and place. She will walk or jog with you on leash.
One thing we really want to point out in this video Look how she looks at me. Her food is straight in front of her - but her focus is on me. What tremendous respect she shows.
It’s a good thing we don’t own a pup we could replace her with … if we did, we’d be keeping Ashe. This is a fine gundog - very special.
Of course, that doesn’t mean we won’t be bringing our check books Saturday to get in the action!
We’ve done the hard part of the training. It’s all smooth sailing from here!

Chow time
Vader (Deets x Kate) using chow time to brush up on sit and stay.
We really take advantage of morning and evening feedings with puppies. From sit and stay to kennel and place - they hardly know it’s work - their minds focused on the food.

Miss Kate
Miss Kate - the mother of @celebritiesforacause puppy, Ashe
In the house, you’d swear she wasn’t a hunter. She is an absolute lady, wherever you are, she’s laying by your feet.
When having a conversation - she sits, looking at each person as they talk. Seeing jt, you swear at any moment she will open her mouth and lend to the conversation.
In the field … well, watch the video. This is what you get 100 percent of the time.
Kate came to us from @missouri_river_pointing_labs in South Dakota. Her pedigree is truly an alphabet soup of some of the greatest gundogs in the business (past and present).
Kate and Deets both have their health certifications - as do dogs on both sides of the pedigree through atleast three generations.
You can meet this year’s @celebritiesforacause puppy, Ashe in Cody city park Saturday, August 17th. She will be mingling with all in attendance. Then that evening our good friend @ryan_brown_76 will be auctioning her to the highest bidder.
Proceeds from Ashe will benefit @militarymobility and @crisisinterventionparkcounty
This is a great event for great causes.
