Wirehaired Pointing Griffon training

[mthillrunner]

Hi all, I currently have an older WPG. Have hunted upland birds with him. When he was younger I sent him off to a trainer for a month. He’s hunted well for me. We just got another WPG pup. I would like to do more of the training for this one. Does anyone have a book or resource they recommend for training pointing dogs. I’ve trained labs before but the WPG are a different deal in many respects. I appreciate the input.

Clicker training worked really well for us for basic obedience work.
