Tips for training your setter.

Just adopted your very own english setter? These great, gentle, family oriented pets are not only fantastic hunting dogs, but are also very smart and friendly! If you're looking for a new addition to your family, or a companion when hunting, english setters are a great option!

Here are some tips for training your english setter:

1 - English setters are great to train, but can sometimes get easily distracted. Therefore it's important to find a method that will keep your pets attention. Some dogs are food oriented, and respond well to treats. Others are attention oriented and respond best to praise.

2 - Repetition is key! It may grow tedious, but in order to get your point across, repeat repeat repeat.

3 - Rewards. Reward your setter for good behavior, or when they respond appropriately to what you were asking. Reward positive behavior with a treat, praise, or maybe just a game of fetch. :)
