Hunting with a dog is an opportunity to form a unique bond while working together to achieve a bountiful hunt. Using a shock collar to train a hunting dog is one of the most successful training methods.  Follow the steps above as you get started in the training process. However, with a hunting dog, the main goal is to ensure the dog’s safety and for the e-collar to take the place of a leash. Therefore, focusing your training on recall and the ‘whoa’ command will be some of the most important steps.  As your dog shows positive behavior in a controlled environment, it’s time to take what you’ve learned and apply it in the field. Start by keeping your dog on a lead or check cord and follow the same steps as before. With continual practice, you can keep building layers of trust.  Repetition is key. Monitor your dog’s process and slowly start adding in new training. With time and practice, you and your dog will be roaming the fields and finding quarry in no time.
