Ollie (Henry's Sir Oliver) to our home on May 19th at almost 8 weeks old. He is a full blooded Brittney and my hopes are to train him for bird hunting. IN any case I have read a few books and some articles as well and I seem to get some conflicting information. I do not want to use a shock collar as I feel he has good natural instincts. His bloodline is deep with trial and great hunting dog parents. Can someone give me a timeline on how aggressive I should train. I have him sitting, shaking, coming, walking on a leash next to me, and retrieving balls to some degree and returning them to me. He is such a quick learner.
He is a puppy of course. He gets distracted easily and tries to chew sticks etc. I am also crate training him as he is technically my son Henry's puppy and he loves his company inside our home.
I have let him chase the wing on the string and he naturally points the wing as you can see in the picture below. I do not want to throw too much at him of course. Should I even introduce him to a bird or a bird wing at this point?
Thanks for the guidance.
