Great Beginnings: The First Year DVD back

Copyright 2009, approx. 52 minute runtime

Great Beginnings follows the development of four English Pointer littermates through the critical first year. George Hickox demonstrates the comprehensive program that has helped thousands of dog owners in his school of "Dog Training for Owners and Their Dogs" across North America. The new approaches to clicker training and e-collar introduction will benefit all owners and their dogs.

The first year is the time to lay the proper foundation for more advanced training. Preparing your dog correctly from the beginning is far better than trying to fix problems later. In this DVD Hickox guides you through proven methods of creating a dog who responds enthusiastically to training with an open mind. Great Beginnings presents a complete and logical program of yard work and field work.

Topics covered include:

Yard Work:
  • Clicker Training
  • Complying to Commands
  • E-Collar Conditioning
  • Fundamentals of Training
    • Field Work:
  • Introduction to Birds
  • Introduction to the Gun
  • Point Drills
  • Backing
  • Handling in Range

    Chapters:
    1. Beginning
    2. 18 Weeks
    3. 12 months

    Very good explanations and age windows. My dog is much more interested in training now. I just wish he would tell where to get pigeons for training.

    Very informative to get started. This is my first go at training a bird dog, and it's coming along well thanks to the video.
