Professional bird dog trainer Bev Millheim has some simple advice when it comes to training your puppy to become a tried-and-true bird dog: start early. She recommends taking it easy at first, with simple commands and obstacles like short platforms, mud runs, and teaching them how to get in an out of a small boat.

Bev advises to keep your training fun and allow the pup to come around on his or her own. It’s all about practice and if you keep at it, you’ll have your best four legged friend at your side every step of the way.
