One of my favorite things in the bird dog world is backing and honoring. Darryl Pernat came on the show in May of 2021 to break down his process on getting your dog to back reliably and consistently in the field! Why is backing important? "Backing" vs. "honoring" "Natural" vs. "developed" backers Better to start earlier or wait until after steadiness training? Necessary gear for training: silhouettes, pigeons, launchers The "Daryl Method" broken out step by step Getting from the bird flush to a dog point association The silhouette process Using real setup dogs Which dog gets the retrieve? Proofing the back Keeping everyone moving to prevent situational backing Backyard drills - Presented By: Standing Stone Supply | Check out their Online Courses and Use Code GDIY to save 15% onX Hunt Maps | Use Code: GDIY20 to save 20% Upland Gun Company | Check out the online gun builder and put eyes on your dream gun today!
