Teaching the Quiet with Jim Closson

Developing the balance between a high-drive working dog and a calm, quite dog is a never-ending challenge. We want to create a dog that has a solid on/off switch between the two. In this video, you will see Leerburg instructor, Jim Closson, working with a lab to develop a calm, quite dog in the duck blind. Jim has taken the training methods and ideology used in our high level sport dogs and applied the same techniques to hunting dogs. In his first online course with Leerburg, you will learn how to raise a puppy and prepare him/her for a career as a hunting dog.
