Basic training methods

All hunting dogs must be well-trained, obedient and balanced. A well-trained hunting dog will ensure that every hunt is not only successful but also safe, ethical and legal. A responsible hunter’s dog should consistently respond to basic commands:

• sit
• stay
• come
• drop
• leave it.

It is important to begin training your hunting dog while it is a puppy. Proper training and socialising your dog with others while young is fundamental to developing an effective hunting companion.
