We love this photo sent to us a while ago of this puff, starting out with the basics! However, we’d love to hear an update from their owner, and we can’t find the original tag. Hope your pups are working on the steady hold just like this one was and probably still is!

The ultimate goal is to hunt wild birds in wild places and recovery of a shot bird is the mark of a true hunter and conservationist. What other ultimate goals do you have with your dog?

Our whoa to bird is great, but sometimes puppy brain takes over lol. Still much to be done but another step in the right direction!!”

We love this reminder that there’s no graduation day! Keep going! Great work!

"I don’t even have the words to describe this tonight. Taking off on a 13 hour away DIY Ruffed Grouse hunt, a bird I’ve never hunted before, has been the most humbling and challenging thing I have ever done. Seriously, trying to find where they live, only wanting to shoot one where Kate pointed it, it’s overwhelming. We hiked 16.5 miles to make this happen. [My] 15 month old puppy could be woahed, and was steady to wing and shot which is just unbelievable. I have put so much work into that moment! I can’t possibly thank Justin McGrail enough for working with her this summer, the Upland Institute for giving me the guidelines, OnX for helping me find birds and where I parked my truck, and my unbelievable wife Mollie Rice for supporting this dream!" - Cody Rice

We couldn't be more thrilled for you Cody!! Congratulations!

Perfect moment to continue practicing the calming touch. Did you have any opportunities this week like this one? . .

"My small munsterlander Elke is doing great and this season promises to be a good one as things really clicked between us last year and the hatch on all of our birds appears to be outstanding this year."

When you and your dog click, it's magic. All that work and training pays off! . .

Advanced bird work builds upon your dogs hunting experiences and previous foundation command training, You’ll learn how to proceed step by step to achieve reliable bird work and steadiness. Whether your goal is to have a dog hold point until the bird flushes or one that is completely steady to wing and shot, a clear path is outlined to reach your goal. Lessons related to steadiness training include relocating on moving birds, stopping to the flush of unpointed birds and honoring the point of another dog in the field. You’ll also learn how to manage the transition from off season training to the hunting environment. Wild birds often bring about challenging dog work. How a dog is handled during this phase is a critical step toward building a truly outstanding dog.

Retrieving is an inherited extinct and varies widely from dog to dog. Sometimes natural retrieving exercises and hunting experiences reveal that this instinct is unreliable. If a dependable retrieve is a priority for you, then formal structured retrieving lessons are the path toward that goal. This series follows the progress of Tussle, a one year old German wire-haired pointer. It begins with her first day on the training table and shows each step taken along the complete process. Finishing with retrieving shot birds in the field. This low pressure method is designed to patiently teach you and your dog everything needed to ensure reliable retrieving of birds delivered to hand.

Foundations & Fundamentals illustrates proven methods for preparing young dogs for the hunting season. The series begins at square one with crate training and puppy field walks. Introducing the concept of waiting to be released, instilling a calming touch and encouraging early retrieving instincts. If there are two places not to make mistakes training a bird dog, it’s with their initial exposure to birds and gunfire. You’ll be given a thorough overview of the process for introducing young dogs to both, helping you achieve the best outcomes possible. The series continues with the training steps to teach the whoa command, walking mannerly at heel and teaching a turn signal and recall command that establishes handling response in the field to influence your dogs range and pattern.
