Join us as Bryan Camper of Swift Rock Kennels takes us through the finishing stages of his Starter Dog Program, featuring field trial prospect, Spur. Spur naturally runs big, making him well-suited for field trials rather than regular hunting. In this video, Spur goes through some fundamental drills.
Transitioning from Fun to Focused Training
Spur, like many young bird dogs, is at a point in his training where transitioning from just enjoying hunting in the field to learning essential obedience skills. Still in the early stages but is already showing promise in pointing, backing, and basic commands.
Bryan explains that Spur, in particular, is just beginning to learn about Whoa, a crucial command in bird dog training that helps keep the dog in position once a bird is found.
What Is “Whoa” Breaking?
Whoa breaking is the process of teaching a dog to stop and hold its position upon command. This skill is essential in both field trials and hunting, ensuring that the dog doesn’t break too early from its point. In this video, Bryan begins to introduce Spur to the concept of Whoa by singing the command during training, helping him associate it with positive reinforcement and style.
As Big and Spur progress, Bryan will start to refine their Whoa breaking and overall control in the field. These dogs have already shown their natural talent for field trials, and now it’s time to shape them into reliable, high-performing dogs. Part 2 of this series will dive deeper into advanced Whoa breaking, where the dogs will learn to stop on command and hold their position during a point, further refining their skills.
