it's so funny when people are surprised that they can be clicker trained like a dog. of course you can, you're an animal too. thing is, when you clicker train dogs it's actually harder to.

dogs don't know they want it already, after all. you could be trained in a week.

A little bit about CKC pointing field trials (puppy stakes) in general for those who are interested in how they run.

CKC has its hunting dog events broken out pretty specifically. CKC is restrictive in which breeds can run which events (e.g., only CKC registered approved pointing breeds can run pointing tests, other breeds are excluded even if they technically could complete the exercises. Rory can only run pointing events, she couldn't do a retriever test or a spaniel test).

We also have a distinction in trials vs tests, as most other venues do.

Trials - you are competing against other people and being judged against a standard. You run in pairs. Top 4 dogs get placements, once you get enough points you get a field championship.

Tests - you are running alone and being judged against a standard for a qualifying/non-qualifying runs. 3 qualifying runs gets you a title.

We are currently running CKC pointing field trials.

CKC pointing trials have two main distinctions within them - puppy stakes and senior stakes. You can enter whichever stake you're ready for, with some exceptions (like age) - you don't have to run puppy stakes before running senior stakes.

Puppy stakes are a little lower pressure because they judge puppies' potential. Within puppy stakes, there are two main types of runs.

Open puppy stakes: any puppy *of eligible breed* between 6 and 18 months old. No birds hidden in the field, no gunshots on the course, 15-20 minutes running.

Derby stakes: any puppy of eligible breed between 6 and 27 months old. At least two birds hidden in the field, puppy needs to point birds if encountered, gunshots, 20-30 minutes.

We run open puppy for now. Here's how this goes:

We are randomly paired with another puppy and handler (this pairing is called a brace, the other handler and dog are our bracemates). We walk up to the start line together (usually the entrance to a big pasture) with our puppies on leash. Two judges (on ATV or horseback) give us a quick overview of the course we have to walk. The course is usually through a big open field with medium cover (think knee high grasses and shrubs, some wetlands, some hills but no forest) and typically avoids fencelines or roads. They tell us to release our dogs at the same time, so we let the dogs off leash and start walking (very fast, and I'm a fast walker to begin with). The course is usually huge, much bigger than we could possibly walk in 20 mins.

Usually the puppies play a little bit and then get to work. The judges are looking for puppies who can ignore the other dog and handler, judges, ATV, horses, and spectators, hunt independently, cover lots of ground (move fast and steady across the terrain while still sniffing), use the wind to follow scent, and respond to their handlers' directions. If the puppies want to play too much, the judges will ask the handlers to split up a little bit to encourage the puppies to work independently. Usually you stick within about 10m (25ft) of your bracemate. Puppies can range anywhere as long as they stay visible and ahead of their handlers. (Puppies are often about several hundred metres/yards away from their handlers depending on breed. Rory ranges about 50-100m in real life and about 75-300m in field trials. It is an exhilarating exercise in trust in my training.)

The judges follow behind us and then spectators can follow behind the judges, if they want. We have to keep up a very fast pace to encourage the puppies to cover as much ground as possible, not at a jog but pretty close.

In puppy stakes, you want to keep as quiet as you can. The judges are looking for instinct and basic potential, so you don't want to ruin that by giving your dog tons of directions. If your puppy follows directions, that suggests they need directions to function. If your dog ignores directions, that's unresponsive and also bad. Ideally you shouldn't say much during your run unless there's danger (if a deer runs out, you would recall your puppy) or evils (if your puppy is eating poop, you could recall or redirect). You are allowed to chat with your bracemate but you have to hustle fast so it's usually friendly but minimal.

One important piece of open puppy stakes is that there are no planted birds in the field! There may be wild birds, but it's unlikely. Many people "over train" their bird dog puppies on live birds, and then the puppies get really frustrated that there are no birds in the field after they search so hard. This causes puppies to slow down or give up entirely during their run, so this is something that judges look for. In real life hunting, there's no guarantee of birds so it's important that puppies can work through frustration without losing enthusiasm.

The judges kind of shout directions (go left, head for those trees) from behind to keep us on course. In the best courses, the judges make you walk a loop, but sometimes your time ends in the middle of a field. When your time is up, the judges will thank you and tell you to leash your dog. We recall our puppies and put them on leash and walk them back to our cars for water and snacks.

That's the whole run for open puppy! It's very low pressure. The puppies basically just follow their hearts and do what they were made to do.

Derby is extremely similar, except there are birds planted in the field. The puppies don't HAVE to find birds but obviously its preferable that they do. If they find birds, they must point (stop moving and stand still staring at the bird). They don't have to be steady to flush or shot (they can chase when the bird flies or when the gun goes off), and only blanks are shot in derby. The course is a little longer but everything else is the same.

In open puppy and derby stakes, the judges are just looking for potential. They want to know if your dog would be competitive in the senior stakes, so they're looking for lots of independence, lots of bird drive, lots of stamina, things like that. Because they're judging potential, younger puppies may be judged a little easier than older puppies.

I think that's the gist of puppy stakes in CKC pointing field trials! Send me a message if you have questions about our experience so far!

needed to draw down this very self indulgent "mercs work with dogs professionally and arent in an endless fucked up war" au

spy owns a black standard poodle and they compete in dog shows. but on the other hand she is both an award winning dog-show-er(???) and also #1 absent father. then scout is like there too competing in the adjacent interest of dog agility shows with his little jack russell. anyway thats where their story ends bc im not creative but i am trying to decide what to do with the other mercs so if u have any ideas LEAVE THEM DOWN IN THE COMMENTS, SMASH THAT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE BUTTON, PLUS THAT LITTLE BELL ICON FOR DAILY UPDATES AND THANK YOU FOR RAID SHADOW LEGENDS FOR SPO-[EXPLOSIONS]

#team fortress 2 #tf2 #tf2 spy #tf2 scout #digital footprint (my art)#so like pyro is a dog groomer and works with spy to make mr no name poodle have the best show cut ever!!!!#soldier trains/handles military dogs #sniper training some livestock or gun dogs????#medic vet obviously plus archimedes would be this crusty little white dog #im running out of brain power no more talking for me #i want to sketch these when im not in PAIN (being alive)

Doggy DNA test results are back, and baby Cody is none of the breeds anyone thought he was.

he is…

*drumroll*

Quarter Cocker Spaniel (cute and fluffy yay! Guess that’s where his slightly curly tail hair comes from)

Quarter XL Bully/Pit-and-mix (the UK’s answer to the banned pitbull that just also got banned)

and Half Belgian Malinois (German Shepherd on Hard Mode)

😬🥲 Pray for him, and us lol

Though the people we used also give you relative links, and there’s a dog which has low genetic match but high breed match (so they’re not directly related but their root breeds are very similar) and damn true. Roch even does the ear thing.

#rescue pup #he’s still way too scared of the outside #is pretty damn good for a puppy inside the home #but he’s scared of and panic barks at anything so easily outside #not a surprise now - that’s a lot of guard dog in him #and the problem is he’s triggered from ok to overflowing #in about a second #no steps between 30%-99%#he’s /used/ to panicking if that makes sense #his brain knows those pathways well so defaults to them #like a human with a panic disorder #but unlike a human he can’t do talking therapy #(we’d probably be fine if our road wasn’t so travelled)#(and our garden connected straight to the house)#(rather than going out and then down an alleyway to it)#(but we’ve got what we’ve got)#(so trial and error and training methods with his behaviourist)

people who say reactivity is a training issue have very obviously never owned a neurological dog with reactivity. no amount of training is ever going to make finch’s reactivity go away. it can be MANAGED. but it will never disappear. that’s not training, that’s how his brain functions

#reactivity is a SYMPTOM that sometiming is wrong #if that symptom is something wrong with the brain #how are you ever going to completely train that out?#dog instagram trainers man #personal

#and ill talk about it at Length in the tags until tumblr cuts me off like a rowdy drunk after last call #please keep in mind this is all in my Brain and relationship dynamics etc are all technically speculation. anyway #so while franklydear is your more classic 'oh no im in love with him! / aw shucks im in love with him<3'#laughingstock is 'feelings what feelings / oh shit oh fuck this is bad'#to Me.#in my mind howdy is completely oblivious to his emotions #he's out here like 'gotta get the store impressively neat & shiny for barnaby! and everyone else' without blinking an eye #he starts assembling barnaby and wally's dogs slower an slower so that barnaby has to hang around a smidge longer than usual #he's out here giggling at barnaby's jokes while sweeping Hours or Days after the joke was told like a lovesick idiot #all while being like Ah Yes Barnaby My Dear Friend. My Platonic Buddy Whose Jokes I Laugh At A Little Too Hard. Platonically.#meanwhile barnaby Realizes his own feels. has a minor crisis. goes through the 12 stages of grief and absolutely panics #he's like 'ok just gotta play it cool. normal. dont be weird. he'll fall for your natural charm in no time'#'ill hold all of my feelings right here until i die or howdy reciprocates. i just cant tell anyone about this.'#'....hey wally you can keep a secret right'#and rizzes it up yk. rolls a nat 20 on charisma every time without howdy even realizing it. ig barns rolled for stealth too #and from barnabys pov its going great!#howdy is flirting back! hes showing all the signs! when eddie views their interactions he comes to barnaby later and is like A+ gay as fuck #so barnaby is a soft pining mess and howdy is Absurdly Oblivious despite being a clever & observant guy #so im imagining (will freely admit that this Train of Thought is slightly inspired by the latest chapter of Stamps by Indigopoptart)#that eventually barnaby is Confident in their budding relationship ok. hes ready to ask howdy out.#everyone who Knows (wally & eddie) are like Go For It He Clearly Loves You #and when barnaby tells howdy. howdys like 'ohhhh geez um im really flattered 🥺 but i dont feel the same 😔😭'#cue barnaby turning into the 'never again' meme while trying to laugh it off and pretend like he didnt just have his heart mr starked #so he goes home to smoke his pipe and cry and howdy goes about his day feeling Strange #why cant he stop thinking about that confession. what are these emotions. i mean its not as if hes in love with Ohhhhhh No. Oh No.#so howdy has his 'holy shit! im in love with barnaby! (lovestruck. swooning) ....Holy Shit I Rejected Barnaby (horrified. nauseous)' moment #cue howdy expecting barnaby to come by in the morning as per Routine so they can talk. he Doesnt. cue howdy stressing the fuck out over it #meanwhile wally sally (eddie sent her in his place. hes too busy) and barnaby are having a girls day (eating ice cream and watchin romcoms)#eventually barnaby hears that howdy has been Dropping The Ball and cant not check on him. cue emotional heart-2-heart outside the bodega #this is all very specific but its in my brain. these scenarious lull me to sleep every night lately

A badly written poem for the world's best detective

The light of your eyes

became the spark of my life

The warmth in your voice

made you the sun

in my cloudless sky

Your cute little smile

turned my sugar-free life

in the chocolate dipped strawberry cake

that you like so much.

Oh my dear detective

why can't you see?

I've fallen hard for your emerald eyes

so believe me when i tell you

my life had never felt so sweet

until you made it such.

images from pinterest!

Do you know how specific scent training is? Like if you train a dog to find mallards they can find other ducks, but they're not going to indicate at sparrows for instance. So how specific is it?

Hi! So short answer - depends on the dog and how well they contextualize.

If you have a dog predisposed to finding birds, they're probably going to find all birds and then generally learn which ones you (the human) care about. So say for example your dog shows you a crow, a sparrow, a mallard, a teal, and a finch. You reward the mallard and the teal, and you ignore the others. Eventually your dog will release that you only care about some birds and their indication on crows and sparrows amd finches will fade.

If, on the other hand, you have to teach a dog to indicate birds from scratch, you might have to contextualize more. So you'd teach your dog that you reward when they look at ducks in a pond, and then they'd seek out ducks in a pond (hopefully). Then you'd have to teach that you reward when they find ducks in a field. Then ducks on a path in the woods. Then you might have to teach them that you don't care about herons in the pond. And so on and on, depending how quickly they understand what you're rewarding.

It really depends on what connection your dog makes in their puppy brain, and there isn't a good way to control that. But it's a fun thing to try anyway, especially if it's something you and your dog find enriching!

#asks #anon #it isnt so much as 'teach your dog to find mallards and theyll find ducks'#thats not the best example because usually you dont use a dog to find ducks #(ducks live in water so you just go around to ponds to look for them)#a better example is if you teach your dog to find spruce grouse they might find other grouse #but thats not really true either #generally for bird dogs you need to train them on each species you want to hunt #which makes sense because each species lives in different habitats in different environments #so you might have to run your dog in forests for spruce grouse AND alpine terrain for ptarms AND fields for sharpies #before they understand what theyre looking for #its obviously easier for dogs predisposed to finding birds #because they only need a few encounters to form a strong connection #but baby bird dogs point or flush songbirds all the time!#you just have to reward what you want them to find and ignore what you dont want #and hope they make the correct associations in their puppy brains #i looooove talking about this btw #i have read and watched sooooo much on bird dog training for aroris #i am so happy to answer these tysm

This puppy is kicking my ass. XD

I can tell when he's going through a growth spurt because his brains leave the building. He tries jumping into bushes; when I took him to Home Depot, a place he has been to many times, he tries climbing the shelving; he almost dislocated my wrist on our last off-leash walk because he ignored all my "easy!" commands and hit the end of the dragline at top speed; more than once; he tries full-on chasing squirrels by hitting the end of his five-foot leash at top speed on park walks; cannot LLW under any circumstances; never heard the word "sit" in his life; doesn't know what a recall is; etc. ad nauseum.

Like, at no point were any of these behaviors allowed??? Ever????

I really want to take him for a hike but I know that he will not be able to LLW at all, and so I'd feel compelled to put him in harness so we can at least do controlled pulling, but. he's just. so big. and so strong. Our morning pull walks on flat ground already leave me exhausted.

And he can't go on offleash walks with my friends and their dogs because he is mentally not ready for it. If any of the dogs move faster than a walk he'll chase and grab them. We've made... some... progress at home, but it would be absolute chaos out in the real world. He's backslid on chasing Kermit on our "offleash" walks.

I did a bit of ecollar training (for recall proofing) on him but am dropping it completely for probably at least a year. He's just not mentally mature enough for it. So I have to stick with the dragline, which is, well, a drag.

And I don't even know what I'm going to do about hunting. He is so crittery. Sees a squirrel or bird and loses his mind.

We haven't even hit the testosterone yet. XD

I'm glad my breeder and agility trainer have both assured me that I'll be able to do everything I want to with him as an adult because otherwise I would be crying every single day. Instead of wanting to cry a couple times a week.

I think it's just the combination of his size, speed, lack of impulse control, and lack of brains that is killing me. He's a lovely puppy but he is being difficult to take out places right now.

How do other people do it?

#zaku terv #puppy blues #any advice/thoughts from working belgian people highly appreciated #or any working dog people #I'm just glad his brother's owner posted recently that he's having to hold back on some bitework training for a bit #puppy isn't mentally mature enough for certain exercises #I was like oh thank god it's not just me #these puppies are a LOT of dog but have total baby brains

She runs so fast when she’s angry

#so mad!!!#that dog is too fast and he’s playing her game!!!#he was such a good training partner for her #she ran over to yell at him several times and his one brain cell was not focused on her at all bless his heart #she finally figured out he wasn’t going to go after her and she gave up yelling at him and just did her job #she made a lot of good choices and looking forward to her making more good choices #estrella #australian shepherd #flyball #dog sports #dogblr
