This video is about 2019 PRL Pups Obedience Lesson #1. Name', Waawaate, and Ode' are three puppies that are all in their first obedience lesson in these videos. Great unedited raw footage. All these puppies have never worn a collar or a leash prior to this lesson. Moving forward they will be trai...

This video is about 2019 PRL Pups Obedience Lesson #2. The pups do their training for the second time and it's in the driveway on pavement. Raw unedited lessons from start to finish. The order of pups being worked is— Name', Waawaate and Ode'. Some really good work out of them here!

PRL pups— Name', Waawaate, and Ode' in their third obedience lessons. Raw unedited lessons from start to finished. Some good troubleshooting here with sitting on the whoa command. The pups are coming along as we start to increase our distance while the pups are on the whoa.

Obedience lesson #4 for the three pups— Name', Waawaate, and Ode'. Coming along nicely as we continue to work on increasing from the pup on the whoa command and doing recalls from greater distances as well.

Our three featured pups— Name', Waawaate, and Ode' are now 17 weeks old. Over the last 7 days we have done 5 lessons and you, the viewers, have seen every training lesson these three pups have had! It's been a great week in working these young pups with the basics and sharing a simple structure w...

In the girls sixth lesson we are continuing with distance on the whoa command up to 100' away. Just a quick lesson for each before off to work with clients' dogs.

10 days into their obedience training in their seventh lesson the three pups get a little shakey on their obedience because of the anticipation of getting into the bird fields.
A couple mornings in a row of bird work and now the pups are high drive on birds and distracted for obedience training....

Working on the puppies with their obedience in the bird fields minus birds. This is where we start to really work towards our command response being real world functional.

Here we are in the puppies tenth obedience lesson. Continuing with working on command response on the hunting grounds where they have bird brain. Doing very well overall.

I want my dogs to come when called and stop when told on the job. This video builds on what we worked ok with these three pups from last summer from the foundational whoa training yo their first season. Now we look to build on that for command responsiveness to whoa in the field more so. Here’s J...

First indoor stay training today with the pups. People do not do enough stay work with their pups and certainly should take advantage on the huge amount of indoor time for training opportunities. Five months old now, Name' and Waawaate

Explaining the bare bones of what you will see in the puppy bird work in the early sessions.

Bird Work Lesson #1.
Name', Waawaate, and Ode' get started on birds! Spring training is here with the snow just melting in the puppy training fields. Our three model pups are just 17 weeks old in this video. At 12 weeks old they had three days in a row where they saw a total of 9 pigeons then the...

Bird Work Lesson #2. Day 2 of training in the bird fields for the three pups.

Third time out on birds and we rotate the order of pups to help Ode' have better scent conditions and we see that make a big difference. Good explanation on scent behavior on a bird launcher that both Waawaate and Name' had difficulty with.

Third day, second time out. This is their first time working in the afternoon. We went back to our original order of Name', Waawaate, then Ode'. Worked them between 4pm and 5:30pm. Ode' got the short end of the stick again with the transitional time. First two pups you'll see had the scent condit...

Fifth bird work lesson for the pups this morning. Name' and Waawaate had pretty good runs this morning. Ode' had a nice point on the first bird but got spooked by the launcher a bit. Make sure to turn up your volume.

Sixth time out on birds in training. This was a rough performance for the pups today. Following a lot of rain, wet vegetation causing poor scent conditions and just hitting scent in the wrong places. Certainly not a brag day in the puppy fields. Much work to be done. Today was a reminder.... one ...

In their seventh raw footage bird work lesson the pups have a pretty good run. Name' continues to be the star at this time. Waawaate is finding birds but just not holding too long. Ode' has a mixed bag of things going on but with this morning and afternoon run in bird lesson as well.

This is the eight lesson on birds for the pups. In the intro I say it's the ninth lesson... lost count. This is the second run of the day in the early afternoon and the pups are looking good. Clean run by Name', Waawaate had very little scent movement but we were able to work her through some ste...

The three pups are getting a lot of exposure over this past week. Bird numbers #25-27. Name' continues to shine and the other two are doing well but have the occasional slip ups.

In their tenth lessons— Name', Waawaate, and Ode' were all fortunate to have terrific scenting conditions. Name' had a nice cautious clean run. Ode' had a super point far off the bird and what charge we worked through. Waawaate needed a little whoa prompting to hold for a bit longer.

When training your pup on planted birds working blank/negative areas becomes a must once they have seen ample numbers of birds.

Going forward we will have Name' and Waawaate in our puppy development leading up to their first season. Ode' we have found a lovely hunting family home for to give us more time for these to pups that we will continue to assess for our breeding program. Here we are in our 20th bird work session i...

In this video we run Waawaate in a blank area focusing on obedience. There are Kyle piles set up in several spots. The pups have been ran with a bell and gps to get them use to their hunting gear. Just turning 5 months old today we are getting the pups acquainted with the tone on the collar with ...

In the puppies' obedience lesson #15, at a little over five months old, we introduce the remote training collar with the use of the tone function.

Waawaate and Name’ first bird work off the homestead. We went to the family farm. Waawaate did amazing. I made one mistake that you'll see in her run. Name' had a few struggles that she'll work through but good for you to see a common issue to be aware of.

Waawaate on a third farm run. She's 6.5 months old. She had a really nice run and is steadying herself up nicely.

Name' gets her third run off property at the farm. She's 6.5 months old now. Scent conditions on her run were ebb and flow. She did a decent job overall with a real nice last bird.

Waawaate had some extended nose time today. She had about 8-9 minutes prior to hitting the first bird and she did a nice job. The second bird she showed some issues with old habits of wanting to pinpoint too much.

Name’ had a beautiful 20 minute hunt in this video and a good 12-15 minutes before hitting her first bird. I'm very please with this girl. A little over a week ago she broke her tail getting it stuck in the dog door in the kennel. She's a trooper and after a quiet week we have her back at it. Qua...

Waawaate on her 5th run at the farm. Her steadiness is still shakey. She needs wild birds really bad at this point to make her really solid.

Name' has a terrific run this morning at the farm. You will see some interesting scent behavior based on terrain on the first bird. The second bird was a classic case of trust your dog as I misjudged where the bird was but she found it.

Waawaate runs at the farm for the 7th time. I say the 6th but it's the 7th. Great comments in this video.

Name’ Farm Run #7. I say it's the sixth time at the farm but it's the seventh. Great instructional here.

Name’ bird run at home in the woods.

Waawaate 7/6 home tough scent conditions today.

Heat and excitability caused her to not stay committed to the retrieve today. Cooler days are coming.

This video is about the first retrieve outside and the next steps to set up success to continue what we have had indoors in the past weeks.

Second time in doing retrieve work outside with the pups, now 4.5 months old in late March. Ode' and Waawaate did great for their second time outside retrieving. I had a terrible accident with Name' as we were walking into the area to do retrieve work I trip and fell on her and it totally freaked...

This is the fourth unedited outside retrieve lesson with the pups. We are moving along with the fun game of fetch and building the bond that retrieve work offers.

This was a fantastic recovery for Name'! After a terrible mistake by me this morning of tripping over her when we were about to do retrieving outside for only the second time. This afternoon about eight hours after the accident of falling on her we gave it a second go in a different location with...

Name' is first and we continue to use the dove dummy with grouse wings attached. Ode' shows us why we use a checkcord once we are out of the alley environment. Waawaate we use old faithful for the securing her attention.

Name' and Waawaate have their first retrieving session while wearing the remote training collar. Explanation of how and when to use the remote training collar to aid in the retrieve process if needed.

In our fifth outside retrieve lesson you see the unedited fun the pups are showing. We are in the grind of keeping it fun and adding distance and consistency. Short sessions still not longer than several minutes.

Name’ and Waawaate retrieve possession work within the simple game of fetch.

Name’ first day doing some more in-depth after the shot work with starting to delay the send for fetch and obscuring view of retrieving dummy. We will be building up the pup's innate ability and desire to commit to searching for the downed bird (retrieve dummy).

Waawaate in her first after the shot search work. A nice clean run.

Waawaate in her second time doing search work. Did a real nice job.

Name’ in her second blind retrieve workout. Here we get to see a re-start and when it's the appropriate time to do so.

Waawaate third search workout. She had two fantastic searches. Nice video explanation of what's happening and when all the stars align this is what it looks like.

Name' struggles in this search work. You will see several ways to try to salvage the session.

Waawaate 4th blind retrieve work. First time in bird training fields with this work.

Name’ in her 4th blind retrieve. A few nice short ones for building success.

Waawaate in her 5th blind retrieve workout. I'm very happy how she did today. Only did one search but it was a couple minutes long and she made the fine to continue to build that work ethic for the task at hand.

Name’ does an excellent job here in her 5th blind retrieve workout. She had a couple of easy ones and a couple of difficult one.

Waawaate blind retrieve work on 7/1

Name’ working her blind retrieves 7/1

This is the first video added of 2020! We are into spring now and we have our young girls coming off their first hunting season. They did fantastic! Retrieving machines! We are building on the search work after the shot here in these videos.

Second consecutive day of search work with Name' and Waawaate. A more challenging workout today for the girls between distractions and how the cards fell with their searches. Good learning for everyone!

Resuming after the shot search work for the fourth time in five days.

We’ve done several sessions with these two dogs with expanding the retrieve into blind retrieves in large areas. Now we are transitioning to doing blind searches entirely.

A week later we get back to starting our blind searches. Warm today at 80° which The dogs have not experienced since late September of last year. A sloppy performance today but they get the job done and there’s some good value in watching this session.

Jiibay introduction

Jiibay starts her recall work with our kissing system. Refer back to Kissing system intro video in series.

This video shows Jiibay's very first time getting exposure to birds. No wings, no visual props prior to this session. She is 9 weeks old at the time of this video.

Jiibay is out for her second time in the fields. Birds 4,5, & 6 in the manual foot tip up traps. We get some really nice scent points out of her.

Jiibay gets exposed to birds #7,8 & 9. This is her second bird workout of the day. Tough scent conditions 70 degrees, humid, wet grass and little wind but we made the best of it.

Jiibay had her 4th bird work out this morning. This was her first time with our soft release launchers. Fantastic run.

Jiibay had her 5th bird workout on the farm. This was her second workout of the day. For 9+ weeks I can't ask for more.

Jiibay in her 6th bird workout. Warm, humid, 70 degrees with little to no air movement.

Jiibay in her 7th bird work out. Plugging away in the grind of bird exposure.

Jiibay continues her bird exposure everyday. Here we are in our eighth time in the training fields.

Jiibay in her ninth bird work out. Just the daily grind of exposure and turning on switches.

Jiibay has just turned 10 weeks old and she has been exposed to 30 pigeons over the last 10 days. Overall things are going well for this wee pup.

Jiibay on her eleventh bird workout. She had decent scent points today. We are really working on encouraging the hold on point via our "natural window."

Jiibay bird workout #12. Second time off property working at the farm. First day with birds in the woods. She does a nice job. Juggling Lacey on my shoulders added to my flaws in handling today.

Jiibay bird workout #13. Second run today. This one is back at home in the puppy fields. I felt I wanted to right my wrongs from the morning run. She has two birds out here and it goes textbook nice.

Jiibay's 14th time out on birds. Clean run overall, in the grind of day to day exposure.

Jiibay in her 15th bird workout. This was an unfocused run for the pup. A good reminder that the best most natural pups have off days as well. Patience... remember... this is suppose to be fun! Also dogs are not robots and there's often multiple factors. She was vaccinated late the night before a...

Jiibay in her 16th bird workout. Clean run.

Jiibay third time at the farm, 17th bird workout. Finished on a high note but stepped on her paw in just in minute into the hunt.

Jiibay in her 18th bird workout. The video says 17th but it's the 18th. Really tough scent conditions— explained. Second bird is nice and clean.

Jiibay in her 19th bird workout. Looking pretty good here. You'll see what I allow on the second bird based on the scent pictured described in the intro of this video.

Jiibay a day shy of 12 weeks old. Looking good. No complaints here.

Jiibay runs her first blank area in the bird fields to proof of distraction odors. This was done on her 21st time out in the bird fields with birds always being in the fields every time prior to this run.

Jiibay turned 12 weeks old today on 6/5. This is her 21st time out on birds with being pigeons #51 & 52. I couldn't ask for more out of a 12 week old puppy. Only near daily nature walks, no commands, no collar— good field set up, reading the pup for bird release, tons of bird exposure and patienc...

Jiibay in her 22nd bird workout. Nothing too creative in this run. Not a lot of scent movement and a decent job by the pup.

Jiibay in the grind of day to day field work. Bird workout #23

Jiibay in her 24th bird workout. Did a nice job but I should have released the bird a few seconds earlier. As Jiibay got visual contact with the launcher after her point was established.

Jiibay in her 25th bird run.

Jiibay turned 13 weeks old on this day. I couldn't ask for a smoother pup. She's been a delight and with some quality field set up she's done as anyone could hope and now it's all about working on her holding her birds so I can walk in front of her.

Jiibay on her 4th farm run. Beautiful day with a couple handler failures.

Jiibay in her 28th bird exposure.

Jiibay out on birds for the 29th time. Our buddy and Jiibay's breeder, Chuy Garcia, flew in from Iowa to hang out with us for a few days and he's enjoying watching this Cash Setter pup do her thing. Beautiful run here by Jiibay.

Jiibay plugging away on her bird work.

Second retrieve lesson for Jiibay. We are remaining in the paved 30' by 10' alley to help keep focus. Trying to illustrate the value in praising the possession which will enhance the hold.

Jiibay first retrieve session. She's two days shy of 9 weeks old. From our close friend, Cash Setters. See our focus on encouraging possession in this brief easy session with Jiibay! Wonderful pup!

Jiibay gets her third retrieve workout. Still in the same starting area. She highlights a common issue we will be working through with her possession keep away. Going to be a great retriever.

Jiibay in her fourth retrieve lesson. Continuing working through her possession in keep away. Going well.

Jiibay in her 5th retrieve lesson. This pup has promise to be an outstanding retrieve. Patience in the follow through.

Jiibay in her sixth retrieve lesson. She's really starting to see some of the positive in possessing near me.... cat and mouse is diminishing just a bit.

Jiibay in her seventh retrieve lesson. Nicest lesson to date. Couldn't be happier with this presentation. Hopefully the new normal.

Jiibay in her 8th retrieve lesson. She continues to become more consistent with the return. Staying in our introductory area from the time being.

Jiibay rolling along in her 9th retrieve lesson in this video. All things the good kind of same here. One additional trick that you see me demonstrate to further encourage possession.

Jiibay in her 10th retrieve lesson.

Jiibay's 11th time doing some retrieve work. She continues to do well overall. Nothing new in this video just a nice few minutes of everything we've been doing up to this point and time.

Jiibay in her 12th retrieve lesson. Changing things up a little bit with starting the dove dummy in this lesson.

Jiibay in her 13th retrieve session. Today we only used the dove dummy and she did terrific. Still remaining in our starting area.

Jiibay in her 14th retrieve session. Second time with only using the dove dummy. Still in original training area.

Jiibay in the grind with her 15th retrieve lesson and using the dokken dove dummy going forward.

Ina'amii in her fifth obedience lesson in as many days. Things are rolling along smoothly. We follow up with bird work and retrieve after our obedience lesson.

Terrific quick run through. The type of session we look to have longer term when everything goes right.

This is her first freestyle lesson. Second lesson of the morning. It goes very well. Just starting to work whoa a little bit off lead and when she distances herself from me. I’m very pleased.

Great learning lesson. Two camera perspectives both tripod and in hand. I explain and you see some pressure effects and what to pay attention to and what not in our puppy whoa work. Very productive lesson for the pup.

Discuss when nose time increases are recommended.
