THE NEXT CHAPTER:

conversations along the field training journey

moderated by Judy Teskey & Linda Reynolds

Training Starts with Knowing Your Dog: Be Curious!

In this column we explore the nature of dogs and why it’s important to learn about their traits and

tendencies if we want to build the very best retriever and partner. We begin with a walk through
the “Framework for Success” principles and explore how your dog’s nature and traits directly
impact your training decisions. In a second article, entitled “Train the Dog You’re Training,”

Judy Teskey takes a deeper dive into dog traits and characteristics and how they inform building
good habits and practices, and the pitfalls of failing to see and address your dog’s weaknesses

through two very interesting case studies. Finally, the last page of our column includes a reprint
of the full table of principles. Consult it early and often in your training! – by Linda Reynolds

******

Success principles, the trainer must “know what is
reasonable to expect of a dog at any point in training,” Relationship / Teamwork
and as trainers we can't do this unless we “know” our dog BUILDING THE TEAM

take responsibility for his education, we’ll get better at communicating with our partner,

maintain his trust in us, and ultimately advance his skills and development.

Principle: Match the training to the nature of the dog (Teaching / Training)

Woven throughout the success principles, particularly in “Building the Team” and “Art &
Science,” is the idea that dogs have a core nature that must govern how we teach and train them.

Professional trainer Pat Nolan describes dog nature and dog training this way:

“Dogs are not simply the product of conditioned responses. They have a core essence or
self. They come hardwired with drives and desires, are genetically gifted with various
degrees of abilities, and they have a free will and make choices based on past experience.

53

Dog training occurs when we interject ourselves into the process of dog learning with the
goal of developing a skill or teaching a desired response to command. To maximize training
effectiveness we must carefully manage our interactions with the dog at each step in the
learning process.”

Principle: Learn to read your dog and respond to what you see (Relationship / Teamwork)

Clues to understanding our dogs’ abilities and traits can be gleaned from studying them in their
environments, and by observing body language and training attitudes. Be curious! Reading them
starts with seeing behavior. Are they ears-up, quivering with excitement to go? Are they bored,
disinterested, worried? Are they questioning and unsure? Or are they somewhere in between?
Once we can see behaviors, we can study them in their contexts. Are you in the yard, the field,
hunting? Do you get good eye contact? How are they using their ears, tails, and when? Are you
reading anxiety in certain situations, like avoidance / looking away from you? Learning these
cues will allow you to tailor your lessons to their behavior, for example, knowing when to
simplify a task, like moving up, or re-throwing a mark if needed to maintain your dog’s attitude
and confidence. It will also cue you to times when your dog knows what to do but is not trying.
All dogs will decide they’d rather be doing something else at some point. We need to read when
this happens and why, and figure out how to keep them in school, even if they’d rather go to
recess!

Principle: Your dog’s internal motivation – level of retrieving desire, birdiness – influences
training decisions (Teaching / Training)

Mike Lardy adds a useful lens to understanding traits and reading our dogs. In an article in the
May/June 2002 Retriever Journal entitled “Too Sensitive?” he writes that all dogs fall
somewhere along a range of high and low sensitivity (the psychological reaction to pressure) and
high and low retrieving desire. It’s not a clear-cut scale and is hard to separate the two; for
example, physical and mental toughness don’t always go together: a physically tough dog can be
deeply psychologically affected by an ear pinch. As for retrieving desire, or the lack of it, it
shows up when the retrieve gets too difficult, when the water gets too cold, when the cover gets
too thick, or when the dog simply loses interest in a task. While a dog with extremely low
retrieving drive is probably not a good candidate for advanced training, desire can be nurtured
and intensified with training, starting with early puppy exposure to birds, and making sure your
dog gets a steady diet of meaningful rewards for retrieving. It’s also important to look at context
when evaluating your dog’s internal motivation: a dog with a poor yard attitude, such as quitting
after a few retrieves, may show great desire when in the field. This dog may just not like drilling
or repetition — I’ve had a dog or two like this! Keep a close eye on your dog’s behaviors in
many contexts and you will become skillful in knowing how to address your training challenges.

Principle: The e-collar is not the teacher, you are – first teach, then reinforce, then correct
(Relationship / Teamwork)

The experience of many exceptional retriever trainers over the years has ushered in refined
training techniques that allow us to carefully match the training to the nature of the dog, and to
emphasize teaching and building complex skills. As a result, dogs with a wide variety of drives,
sensitivities, and personalities can learn and thrive. A common tool used in retriever training, the

54

e-collar, is also now extremely versatile and finely tailored to a wide variety of dogs, resulting
overall in less pressure being used in training. As trainers, it’s our job to figure out an approach
to training that balances out teaching and pressure. This starts with becoming effective teachers,
and as Lardy says, the better you are at teaching, the less pressure you will need or use, no matter
how sensitive, driven, or tough your dog.

Principle: Deciding when and how to intervene in a given training situation depends on
knowing and understanding your dog’s tendencies, temperament, experience,
confidence, intelligence, training patterns, and behavior (Teaching / Training)

Recently I listened to a webinar hosted by Pat Burns of Elite Retriever Training on the
challenges faced by all-age retrievers in preparing for competition. While the scale of field trials
and what’s expected of dogs is vastly different from hunt tests or other field sports, I was struck
by how the training principles are the same. In an interview with Ray Voigt, a pro trainer who
worked with Mike Lardy for 14 years, Ray was asked how he manages training situations for
precocious dogs, especially when he’s putting them in new situations they don’t yet have the
skills for. He replied:

“…A lot of it is a feel from dog to dog. If you have a real hard-charging powerful dog
that’s not really sensitive, I’d probably be quicker to challenge them a bit. For a more
sensitive dog that maybe overthinks things, I’m going to simplify a little longer. At some
point the dogs are going to have to deal with being in an unsure state. The trick is knowing
when to push them … and when to back off and simplify, when to push again, how long to
push, how long to simplify. I would use less correction when they’re uncertain. I’ll still
maintain a high standard, but I will reduce the pressure. If the dog’s unsure and you pile on
pressure … it can lead to a downward spiral.”

These comments reflect a great deal of knowledge about dogs, how they learn, and how to train
them. If we become a “student of the game” and keep learning, we can master that same “feel”
for reading our dogs that Ray talks about, balancing the challenge to not overwhelm while
nurturing a dog through uncertainty, based on knowing and reading who they are.

Principle: Basics and fundamentals remain the same; only the way you teach them will
change based on the dog (Teaching / Training)

Good dog training involves the interplay of continually reading our dog’s behavior and making
creative decisions based on their traits, level of experience, and previous training. A great
example came at a Pat Nolan seminar a few years back, where I watched him troubleshoot a dog
who had a long and bad habit of coming to line in a demanding, noisy manner. The dog was not
paying attention to or working with the handler. Rather than proceed with the planned setup, they
decided to figure out how to improve the dog’s understanding that he gets to retrieve, but must
work with the handler first. It was not possible to “correct” the noise away as this high-drive,
willful dog had a history of working through a lot of pressure. Pat chose to go a different route in
addressing the problem, deciding instead to see if this dog would respond to being rewarded for
learning a desired behavior. For this dog, a meaningful reward happened to be food. Pat showed
the dog the food, waited for “quiet,” marked the good response with a whistle blast, then gave
the reward. In short order he had extended the understanding of “quiet” to include being seated

55

quietly at the line with a bumper throw, and finally a short retrieve. Pat later reinforced the
behavior using low-level e-collar pressure; when the dog was quiet, he was rewarded with food,
and later a retrieve. This interesting example shows what is possible when you read a dog well: a
tough dog became a willing learner, it just required a different teaching approach. A secondary
point is that we must be ready to interrupt a planned setup or lesson and work on where the dog
is failing — here, the problems were vocalizing and lack of teamwork.

Principle: Correct for lack of effort, not a bad decision (Relationship / Teamwork)

Correcting without proper prior instruction is inherently unfair and destructive to
the dog/trainer relationship and the dog’s momentum (Relationship / Teamwork)

To misread a training situation and apply a correction in error, especially if your dog is more
sensitive, worried, or easily discouraged, is inherently unfair to the dog and may hurt confidence,
setting back his progress. A more confident, tough, or driven dog might handle your error better,
but why risk something that you can’t take back? It’s tough enough for us to read situations
correctly; the same goes for your dog — there will be many times in the field when he is not sure
about the right thing to do. To maintain attitude and to be fair, do not assume he should know
better. When we see unwanted behavior, poor performance, or an incorrect response to
command, first ask why: is my dog confused, does he lack knowledge, or is he not trying? If the
dog is confused or lacks the skills to respond correctly, first teach, back up, or simplify. Make
sure you don’t correct for confusion or a mistake. If he’s being disobedient (not trying or giving
effort), then a correction may be in order. Understanding when it’s fair to apply a correction
(application of pressure to discourage an undesirable response) in training is important for
training advanced skills. How do we establish the foundation for fairness? First, we create
understanding by establishing “trained” commands, such as for “sit” and “here.” When you’ve
completed your teaching up through advanced drills, a dog should understand what is expected.
At this point we can say that the dog knows what you want for a given command, and it would
be fair to correct him when he doesn’t respond to that command in a context known to him.

Train the Dog You’re Training by Judy Teskey

Like me, you’ve most likely heard the phrase “train the dog you’re training” hundreds of times.
This retriever training mantra encompasses tons of wisdom and great advice. To me, “train the
dog you’re training” means learning as much as possible about my dog and using these insights
to modify training to fit my dog’s specific traits and characteristics. I’m mindful I’m not training
the dog I watch in field training DVDs or the dog I wish I was training; I’m training the dog I
have in front of me — today.

Understanding traits. As we think about the nature of our dogs there seems to be an unlimited
number of characteristics and traits to be aware of and to understand. Each dog integrates
specific characteristics and traits in unique
and individual combinations; complicating
things even more is that many of the traits
come in ranges (high or low). At the end of
this article are two tables listing and
describing numerous traits that are important
to understand when training our retrievers.
The listing is not meant to be definitive or
comprehensive, but rather is based on my
own experiences and observations of
training dogs over many years, as well as the
experience of other seasoned retriever
trainers. The list is also intended to
encourage awareness of and learning about
traits in your own dogs in hopes that it will Dogs aren’t mind readers, but we can learn to read them!
make you better retriever trainers.

Some believe certain traits are generally stable throughout the dog’s life: e.g., assertiveness,
biddability, courage, energy level, environmental focus, and self-confidence. Other traits are
considered malleable or tweak-able and able to be reduced or intensified with training: e.g.,
patience, resilience, sight and sound sensitivity, impulse control, eye contact, retrieving desire,
prey drive, and birdiness.

It’s important to learn to see your dog’s traits clearly, and to be realistic about your dog’s
strengths as well as shortcomings — especially when they are genetically or physically based.
Strive to make your dog the best he can be, but not more, is the applicable training principle
here. Avoid kennel blindness, where you fail to recognize or admit weaknesses in your dog.

Traits inform good habits and practices. Skilled and effective trainers know how to study and
read their dogs, interpret the information, and then base their training on what they’ve learned.
Below are some characteristics, habits, and practices of successful trainers. A wise trainer:

1. Is able to read and understand the dog, tailor and adjust lessons to suit the dog’s unique
traits, and present material in the best manner possible for the dog to grasp the lessons.

2. Attempts to strengthen or improve traits that are desirable and necessary for the dog’s
progress (e.g., creating drive in a low-drive dog), and to reduce or diminish traits that

57

impede a dog’s progress (e.g., teaching a noisy dog to remain quiet at the line when birds
are thrown).

3. Understands it’s his or her responsibility to keep the dog engaged in the lesson — as
Dennis Voigt says, “keep the dog in school.” When you understand your dog’s nature,
you will figure out how to keep the dog engaged in training.

4. Learns and understands when their dog has absorbed a lesson and when the dog is ready
to move on to the next lesson, or when more training is needed before progressing.

5. Does not jump ahead with training when the dog hasn’t learned the required foundation
skills.

6. Is aware a dog’s response to commands needs to be taught with consistent standards, step
by step, in a variety of circumstances.

7. Teaches and enforces a fundamental response in a simple environment and then gradually
generalizes the response to more complex environments.

8. Understands training problems may be an indication that the dog has not fully
generalized the desired response to the situation they are in; an intelligent and trainable
retriever is one that generalizes easily when it is appropriate to do so.

Case Studies: Tales of Chief & Stanley

The stories of Chief and Stanley highlight many of the principles and techniques included in the
Framework for Success (reprinted at the end of this column): Building the Team (Learn to read your dog
and respond to what you see); Methods (Establish and maintain standards); Art & Science (Match the
training to the nature of the dog). Please consult these principles often as you train your dogs!

We’ve talked about what it means to “train the dog you’re training” — learn and understand your
dog’s traits; be realistic about strengths and shortcomings. Now, let’s look at the stories of
“Chief” and “Stanley,” two promising but very different retrievers whose owners weren’t able to
identify their dog’s weaknesses early on and thus failed to address them. They also did what
we’ve probably all done at one time or another: set goals based not on an understanding of what
the dog needs to be successful, but rather on misplaced priorities. In the case of Chief, his
exceptional drive and marking ability overshadowed his owner’s ability or willingness to address
a debilitating impulse control problem. Stanley, on the other hand, a biddable but low-drive dog,
needed to be nurtured into an exuberant enjoyment of the retrieving game, yet his owner insisted
on too much control. In this way, both stories represent cautionary tales for handlers: be aware of
your own personal motivations and priorities when training your dog. Let’s meet the dogs.

Chief’s Story

Chief is a large black Labrador with a top field trial pedigree; he is handsome, active, and
superbly athletic. His owner is a devoted field trialer and over the years has made a couple of
amateur field trial champions. Even as a three-month-old, Chief was obsessed with retrieving
and had little impulse control. He howled and flailed around as puppy marks were thrown for
him. Chief’s owner was intent on lengthening his marks so let him retrieve, no matter how wildly
he behaved at the line. As Chief grew larger and stronger, his twisting and thrashing frequently
was successful and he would break away from his owner and then retrieve his birds. As he
matured, Chief’s excitement and noise escalated, and he began screaming in the truck while

58

waiting for his turn to retrieve. Chief’s owner avoided waiting in holding blinds as Chief would
howl and try to climb over them. Chief’s marks continued to lengthen; he streaked like a rocket
and normally pinned his marks. Eventually Chief’s owner worked to steady him, a slow and
mostly unsuccessful effort.

Chief proved to be extremely insensitive and tough, and not at all biddable. He was unconcerned
about his owner and seemed unable to work as a team member. Chief continued to be extremely
noisy in holding blinds and on the line; he frequently broke and always crept as birds were
thrown. Even though Chief wailed and jumped around as birds were thrown, he was a
phenomenal marker. But because he never learned line manners or how to stop on a whistle, he
never entered a field trial. Chief became a field trial washout at three years old.

How Chief’s Training Might Have Been Modified

Learn to recognize traits early. In addition to his obsessive retrieving desire, Chief is an example
of a highly independent dog who lacks any impulse control. When such traits are recognized
early on in puppies or young dogs, owners can focus socialization and early obedience training
on teaching and nurturing the ability to control impulses, all of which promote trainability,
teamwork, and communication.

Lay the foundation with obedience. For example, basic obedience lessons, with an emphasis on
attentive, calm, quiet, and focused behaviours, would have helped Chief immensely. Such
activities are important for teaching dogs how to learn, about praise and rewards, and that actions
have consequences. Obedience games and exercises also help develop a teacher / student
relationship with owners and lay a foundation for all future training.

Teach impulse control. It’s a good idea to teach all new puppies impulse control, although dogs
like Chief certainly need impulse control training more than others! Nurturing impulse control
can start with simple things such as teaching a puppy to sit quietly, give his owner eye contact,
and wait while his food bowl is placed on the ground before releasing him to eat. Being
meticulously consistent and not rewarding bad or undesirable behaviours such as barking or
whining teach that actions have consequences: in order to get what the dog wants, it’s in his best
interest to give the desired behaviour. Using a place board or platform during his obedience
lessons can help teach an overly excited dog to be calm, stable, and stationary; the platform can
later be incorporated into force fetch, yard work, and lining drill training.

Begin to “generalize” understanding of calm, quiet. For the next level of retriever training,
excitable dogs need to learn how to remain calm and quiet when marks are thrown. First,
determine all the triggers that initiate your dog’s emotions — for many dogs they are things like
firing a gun, blowing a duck call, throwing birds, etc. For highly excitable dogs, just being on
field training grounds or around other dogs, and seeing holding blinds or gunners in the field can
be triggers that ignite the dog’s excitement. To progress your dog’s understanding of being calm

and quiet in increasingly exciting situations, start by putting a few field training features into his
obedience training sessions. In this way, you will begin to “generalize” quiet, calm, and attentive
behaviours to situations and environments your dog finds exciting. For example, while obedience
training, set up a holding blind and teach your dog to sit quietly on a platform in the blind. Fire a
starter pistol, or have a gunner holding a bird stand near the obedience training site and require
your dog to remain calm and quiet. Give your dog lots of praise and rewards when he is

59

successful. With success, work toward introducing your dog to a field training environment —
initially success might just be having him sit quietly on a platform in the training ground parking
lot! Taking steps to minimize or reduce triggers will enable your dog to be less excited and quiet;
with success, slowly increase the triggers, but be consistent and don’t allow your dog to retrieve
when he has been noisy or wild at the line.

We’ll never know if Chief’s field trial career would have been more successful had his owner
taken into account Chief’s characteristics, traits, strengths and weaknesses and tailored his
socialization, puppy training, and field training to his unique needs. It’s sad and tragic that a
superbly talented marking dog with a huge heart wasn't able to reach his potential.

Stanley’s Story

Stanley is a good looking, well-structured black Labrador with a show pedigree that contains a
few Master Hunter dogs. His owner trained her previous show Lab to a Master Hunter title. As a
youngster, Stanley didn’t display much interest in birds or retrieving. Now, as a two-year-old, his
retrieving desire is low to moderate and he doesn’t seem all that interested in birds. He is very
biddable and highly trainable, has a high level of impulse control, and is timid and not confident.
He likes to please and has a good relationship with his owner. Stanley’s owner worries about
having a wild, uncontrollable dog; she believes in and has implemented a strict command and
control obedience regime; even as a puppy Stanley wasn’t allowed to be wild and silly. During
field training, Stanley’s line manners are impeccable — he is quiet and calm in holding blinds,
heels perfectly to the line, and is solid as a rock when birds are thrown. While sitting at the line
he normally doesn’t look out at the field or to the gunners, but prefers to look in his owner’s
face. Frequently he “no goes” when sent for a mark. When a mark is a long distance from the
line or difficult to get to, Stanley will pop, or will quit, turn around and start to come back to the
line. He handles quite well so is often handled to marks; it seems Stanley is content and relieved
to hand over the responsibility to find marks to his owner.

Stanley has never been entered in a Junior Hunter test because his owner isn’t confident he will
go out to the marks.

How Stanley’s Training Might Have Been Modified

Learn to recognize traits early. Had Stanley’s low retrieving desire, high level of impulse
control, and soft and timid nature been identified and taken into account when he was a
youngster, his owner could have focused early socialization and training on building his
retrieving desire, along with nurturing confidence, boldness, determination, persistence, and
independence. Training a soft, timid dog with low to moderate retrieving desire with stringent
obedience standards and inappropriate levels of pressure can easily cause confidence issues for

the dog. Stanley is a dog that would benefit from more freedom and less control in training. Most
often when a dog quits or doesn’t try, it is the fault of the trainer and not the dog.

Build retrieving desire. To ignite prey drive and interest in birds in low-drive, less birdy dogs,
they need lots of experience with live, shackled pigeons or chukar — chasing, trapping, playing
with, and carrying the birds around, and with few rules. You will also build drive by ensuring
your dog is in a happy emotional state when training. Once his prey drive is awakened, train on

60

simple retrieves using live shackled birds to start. At this stage it’s more important to develop a
low-drive puppy’s retrieving desire than it is to require steadiness or a hand delivery, etc. When
training a dog with low drive, it’s crucial to “leave something in it for the dog”! Lighten up —
this is fun! ☺

Continue to socialize to many new experiences. There are many opportunities to build
confidence, independence, and communication throughout the socialization process. Introduce a
puppy to as many different people, situations, and environments as possible: surfaces, vegetation,
terrain, weather, sounds, smells, water, etc. Be mindful to introduce new experiences in a
thoughtful progression so as not to overwhelm or frighten the puppy; at the same time, don’t
pamper, coddle, or baby the puppy. If he becomes intimidated, behave in a “matter of fact”
manner and find a way to help the puppy overcome his fear. These early experiences and
successes help nurture adaptability and resilience, all necessary traits for a successful field dog.

Keep the birds coming! Once prey drive and interest in birds have switched on, training a dog to
upland quest / quarter will continue to help build his confidence, boldness, and independence. A
dog whose passion for birds is becoming ignited will also be more motivated to look out in the
field when retriever training. Frequent use of birds, in particular live shackled birds, will always
be key to keep him interested in and motivated to retrieve. Unlike the case with Stanley’s owner,
who frequently handled him to marks, it’s important to let the gunners help — attracting the
dog’s attention, throwing more birds, etc. — when a dog pops or quits heading to the mark.

As with Chief, it’s impossible to say whether Stanley’s hunt test career would have been more
successful had his socialization and early training factored in his unique characteristics and traits.
Stanley was never going to be the wild and uncontrollable field dog his owner feared — her
training regime was simply not suited to who Stanley is. This misreading meant she would not
enjoy seeing Stanley work in the field with joy, style, and enthusiasm.

Lessons Learned

The tale of these two dogs contains many similarities. Both owners are experienced and
dedicated retriever trainers; prior to purchasing their puppy, each carefully researched several
promising litters with good field potential. Both had good intentions and made huge investments
of time, energy, and money into their dog and their retriever field work passion. And over the
past few years, both owners experienced great frustration and disappointment, and very little
pleasure, success, satisfaction, or joy while training their dogs. Here’s where they fell short:

• They made critical errors by failing to “train the dog they were training,” resulting in lost
opportunities, wasted potential, and failure to make their dog the best he can be.

• They did not identify their dog’s weaknesses early on, and failed to address and deal with
them at first signs of development: for Chief, lack of impulse control, and for Stanley,
low retrieving desire and lack of effort.

• They unwittingly allowed undesirable behaviours to persist and develop into chronic bad
habits by allowing the unwanted behaviour, then rewarding it. Left unaddressed, these
problems meant the dogs could not be trained beyond a certain level of performance.

61

• They didn’t address serious problems, yet prioritized other behaviours and skills. Chief’s
owner prioritized his marking prowess instead of quiet and calm behaviours; Stanley’s

owner prioritized precision and control rather than retrieving desire and effort or trying.

• They did not work toward having an all-around balanced dog with sound fundamentals.
Both dogs had big holes in their training and basic issues that limited their progress.

FLUSH!

Welcome to Flush, a new column dedicated to flushing and spaniel hunting
test training.

I am your column host, Janet Ciarico, and I also serve as your FCRSA Field Committee spaniel
hunting test liaison (and current co-chair of the Committee). I thoroughly enjoy training and
running my dogs in AKC retriever hunt tests and FCRSA working tests but hunting over my
dogs has always been very special. Flatcoats were developed as gamekeepers’ hunting dogs,
and they are very good at hunting live game. It’s thrilling to watch my dogs take control and
use their natural instincts and intensity in the pursuit of pheasant, partridge, and quail.
While most of us think of flushing as what we do when hunting (or rough shooting in the
UK/Europe), there is an AKC sport dedicated to flushing called spaniel hunting tests, and in
2012 the AKC opened these tests to all retriever breeds. I’ve been running the spaniel
hunting tests for several years now and have become an enthusiastic advocate for the sport
(and I know some of you are enjoying and having success in this sport too!). My hope is to
use this column to provide information and education about the art and skill of flushing
teamwork, and to encourage members to participate in the spaniel hunting test program. I
am certainly not an expert, although I am an eager student and enjoy learning from mentors
and friends in the sport. If you have training questions or questions about spaniel hunting

66

tests, or if you run spaniel hunting tests and have training tips or testing experiences you’d
like to share, please contact me at [email protected].

The Basics of Flushing

The basics of flushing include finding birds, flushing birds (causing them to take flight), and
retrieving birds once they are shot. Flatcoats excel at using their noses to find live birds in
the woods or field. The activity of flushing generally comes naturally to our breed, although
occasionally a Flatcoat may hesitate upon finding a bird, or point, especially when first
starting out. While some people appreciate the hesitation or pointing when they hunt, it is
not permitted in a flushing test. If you’ve ever watched a spaniel quarter and flush, they are
quick to cover ground and upon finding a bird, literally push it in a quick action to cause the
bird to fly. This is what you’re looking for in a good flushing dog! If your dog hesitates, you’ll
want to encourage the flush action. Once they understand what you want, they catch on
quickly. Once the bird takes to the air, the guns shoot the bird, and the dog retrieves the
downed bird.

Overview of Spaniel Hunting Tests

Don’t let the name fool you – as I mentioned earlier, these tests are open to all spaniel and

retriever breeds. The purpose of the AKC spaniel hunting test program is to provide an

opportunity for a dog to demonstrate its field abilities in a manner as consistent as possible

with the demands of actual hunting conditions.

Each breed

participating in the

spaniel hunting test

program has been

required to submit

a written

description of its

“hunting style.” The

description of the

flat-coated

retriever’s hunting

style was co-

written in 2012 by

breed experts Photo by Linda Reynolds

Bunny Millikin and Lori Nevins. These descriptions are reviewed by the judges prior to a test

for information about how to evaluate the breed in the field. The breed’s description

provides some background history on the breed as well as general guidance regarding the

breed’s speed and application while upland hunting, the aggressiveness of its flush, and the

water entry that is typical of the breed. The hunting style description submitted by FCRSA

can be found at

iever.pdf

67

The following general rules apply to the spaniel hunting test program:

• Tests are open to all AKC registered eligible dogs over six months of age.
• There are three test levels — junior, senior, and master.
• The tests are pass/fail events. The dogs are scored against a standard of performance

and scored on their own merit. There are no placements and no ranking of the dogs
entered in a test.
• Flatcoats earning a title will have the standard hunt test title followed by a “U” (for
Upland). For example, JHU will designate a Junior Hunter Upland.
• Dogs are run singly with handler, judges, and gunners.
• Live guns are involved at all test levels. All gunning is done by designated gunners
and safety standards are strictly enforced.
• Female dogs in season are not allowed.

Junior Level

A junior-level dog must show a desire to hunt in an enthusiastic manner and the ability to
retrieve. It is not necessary that a dog be steady to wing and shot. The dog should show no
fear of cover, demonstrate a reasonable response to commands, and maintain a reasonable
working distance from its handler.

The junior-level dog must find, flush, and have an opportunity to retrieve two birds on land,
and perform a water retrieve at a reasonable distance. Junior dogs should complete their
retrieves in close proximity to the handler but need not retrieve completely to hand. A junior
dog must achieve four qualifying scores to receive a Junior Hunter Upland (JHU) title. (The
scoring system is explained below)

Senior Level

A senior-level dog must show all the attributes of a junior-level dog. In addition, the dog
must show true boldness to cover, a pattern addressing the course objectives, and an
intense desire to hunt. A proper working distance and independent hunting sense must be
maintained. The dog need not be steady to wing and shot on land but should not show
uncontrollable chasing in a missed bird situation. The dog must be steady at the line on
water, must retrieve eagerly to hand, and exhibit the ability to “hunt dead” on a blind
retrieve.

A senior-level dog must achieve five qualifying scores to receive a Senior Hunter Upland
(SHU) title, except that if the dog has earned a JHU title, then it will receive a SHU title once
it has achieved four qualifying scores.

Master Level

The master-level dog is expected to be a finished and experienced hunting companion.
While allowances for less-than-polished performances can be made at the junior and senior
levels, real perfection is expected in master tests. The master-level dog must always be

68

under control and must handle kindly, with only the quiet commands and signals that would
be used when hunting. The dog must locate game, flush well, and must be absolutely steady
to wing and shot on land and at water. Intelligent use of wind and terrain in locating game,
accurate nose, and intensity are essential. A handler must not command a dog to retrieve
until steadiness has been demonstrated. The dog must retrieve promptly, tenderly, and
absolutely to hand. Hunt dead exercises must be completed both on water and on land.

A master-level dog must achieve six qualifying scores to receive a Master Hunter Upland
(MHU) title, except that if the dog has earned a SHU title, then it will receive a MHU title
once it has achieved five qualifying scores.

The Scoring System

Keeping in mind that the purpose of a flushing dog is to hunt, find, flush, and retrieve birds in
a pleasing and obedient manner, the judges assign a numerical score that reflects an
estimation of how well a dog performed against an established standard for the test level
under consideration.

Dogs are judged according to these performance categories: 1) hunting ability, 2) bird finding
ability, 3) flushing ability, 4) trained abilities, and 5) retrieving abilities. Judges assign a score
from 0 to 10 for each category of performance. As dogs advance, their performance is
expected to be more finished; therefore, they are judged with less tolerance. To receive a
passing score, a dog must average 7 across all performance categories, and cannot receive a
score less than 5 in any category. More details on judging can be found in the AKC rules
found here: https://images.akc.org/pdf/rulebooks/RHTSPN.pdf.

How Are Spaniel Hunting Tests Different from Retriever Hunting Tests?

Although the spaniel hunting tests include attributes that are in many ways similar to our
retriever hunting tests, they are very different in a number of key ways:

• Retriever hunting tests focus on a dog’s manners at the line, marking expertise, and
controlled compliance on blind retrieves. Spaniel hunting tests focus on the dog’s
ability to use its nose to find and flush live birds and retrieve birds after they are shot.
The hunt dead exercise includes a hidden bird, similar to a blind retrieve, except that
the handler only knows the general area but not the actual location of the bird. The
dog is expected to take an initial line and use its nose to find the bird. Handling is used
to keep the dog in the area of the bird, not to put the dog on the bird.

• For retriever hunting tests, each dog is judged on the same setup/series, and each
series is presented, and a test dog is run in advance. For spaniel hunting tests, the
flushing series, in particular, is by nature different for each dog who runs the test, and
none of the series are presented in advance of running, and no test dogs are run.

• In retriever tests, dogs and handlers wait in holding blinds on their way to the line to
ensure the dog doesn’t see the test in advance. In spaniel tests, dogs and handlers that
are next in line to run often follow behind the working dog and handler in the field in
full view of birds being flushed and retrieved.

69

• Water marks in spaniel hunting tests are single marks not more than 40 yards long.
The water hunt dead exercise is always run before the water mark. Like with the hunt
dead on land, the dog is expected to take an initial line across the water and use its
nose to find the bird. Handling is used to keep the dog in the area of the bird, not to
put the dog on the bird.

• All participants and spectators at spaniel hunting tests must wear orange.

Future columns will explore these and other differences in detail and discuss training (and
cross-training) methods. They will also delve into the history of the flushing sport and
flushing breeds to appreciate how and why these tests are different from our retriever tests,
and why flatcoats seem to enjoy them so much.

Training and Test Resources

If this all sounds interesting to you, I encourage you to give flushing work a try! Your dog will
surely thank you! But how to get started….? Here are some ideas for training and test
resources.

• Our FCRSA Lending Library has an excellent DVD by long-time spaniel trainer Pat Perry.
The DVD provides excellent advice for training dogs on basic skills and FCRSA members
can check out and borrow the DVD free of charge. Contact lending librarian Marcella
Winslow at [email protected]. If you have a favorite flushing/upland training book
or DVD, let me know and I’ll mention it in the column. If you’d like to donate a copy to
the Lending Library for members to use, contact Marcella.

• Find a spaniel club in your area that holds club trainings. Check on the AKC website for
clubs in your area and contact that club’s representative to ask about attending club
meetings and training sessions and becoming involved in club functions. I’ve found
spaniel club members to be very kind and generous with their time and knowledge. In
the Mid-Atlantic area, the Maryland Sporting Dog Association (MSDA) has an active
group of spaniel and retriever owners who train together, and the club is planning to
begin monthly spaniel hunting test training days soon coordinated by FCRSA member
Steve Surprenant. http://mdsportingdog.org. If you train with a club, please let me
know and I will post training opportunities in the next newsletter.

• Attend and observe a spaniel test. To find a test in your area, visit the AKC website
https://webapps.akc.org/event-search/#/search. Spaniel tests may also be listed on
HuntSecretary.com https://www.huntsecretary.com and Entry Express
www.entryexpress.net. Offer to work a test. This is one of the best ways to become
familiar with the mechanics of the tests, as well as to gain an understanding of the skills
required by watching dogs and handlers in action.

• Attend an AKC spaniel judging seminar to learn more about the test standards that dogs
will be judged on, the requirements to acquire a title, and other related information
about the spaniel program. You can find upcoming seminars listed at
http://www.akc.org/clubs/seminars/seminars.cfm.

I look forward to sharing training methods and information in support of flushing work and
spaniel hunting tests in future columns.
