Thread: GSP Pup - Training Material

You’ve opened a massive fan of worms, be prepared for all sorts of contrasting opinions. One option is the Deerdog blueprint. It is a video based training programme specifically tailored to NZ hunting with deer dogs. Some love it, others want it burnt to the ground.
The big thing is focus on the basics, sit, stay, come, heel, stop. Don’t rush, be prepared to go back a few steps. Definitely don’t rush your dog into the bush.

Thanks mate,
Ive been reading a few posts on here regarding Deer dog Blueprint, and general consensus seems to be that it works well. At the risk of opening an even bigger can of worms.... is the hate regarding the material itself, or the guy producing it? It certainly seems to be a bit of a polarising topic anyway....
