Thread: Teaching Sacha to point?

I followed this up myself a while back. My dog points birds but not animals.
He still tells me they're there but more like my old goat dog who was mainly heading.

I went on forums and browsed all sorts of stuff. Painful. So many 'experts'. None of whom ever actually trained a dog to point. Obviously relying on breeding and encouraging that natural instinct.

I did however find a few things.

One guy on YouTube with a Gsp. Also some forum posts of a couple of guys training it in(US) . I've started working on it with my dog.
Like any trained response you want from your dog it can be encouraged.
