Regular Dog Training with Bomber the German Shorthaired Pointer

For a young couple who are first time dog owners, a German Shorthaired Pointer is quite a challenge. Josh & Chloe are focused on regular dog training and had started training Bomber at home using treats as rewards. At the first lesson with me, Josh realised the problems that treat training can create and committed to a programme of 1-2-1 sessions. Despite bad weather, the second lesson went well with Chloe attending and I continually reinforced the need for consistency.

Unfortunately, their social media posts didn’t do them any favours here as they posted videos of Bomber on furniture and running around with other dogs – behaviours we had agreed to stop. I’m looking forward to seeing Bomber for his next lesson and will continue to stress the importance of consistent training if they want to see their dog reaching his gundog standard.
