Last week I was explaining to a training buddy how to flush birds for her dog. As we were talking, I realized that as trainers we were constantly adapting to each situation—both the dog situation and bird situation, and that made for a myriad of flushing situations.
Let me give you some examples. Flushing in front of young pups is different than flushing in front of older pups. There is flushing for green-broke dogs verses broke dogs, birds in launchers verses planted birds verses wild birds. How you flush can help your dog or hurt him, and while an entire book could be written on this topic, for now here are a few tips.
