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. :)
