Stop to Flush Round 2

In my last post we talked about stop to flush and it's value. It really is in my opinion the very best foundation for breaking a dog. Here are some of benefits of this training tool.

Stop to Flush Benefits:

• Dogs stop when a bird is in the air
• Dogs hold point better because the chase is no longer an option
• Steadying the dog to FLUSH, SHOT and Wing is much easier

These are a sequence of my Brittany on a stop to flush using a bird launcher. Note: how he just moves his head with the bird flying over and holds the position.

In this session we captured some amateur film showing:

• Stop to flush with an assistant
• The value of the position in relation to the dog when the bird is in the air as a tool in the teaching process
• Adding whoa is an easy step
