Silence

[AlaskaHunter]

A daily solo puppy walk helps with bonding and for future upland hunting.
Pup learns to boldly explore new scents, sights and sounds and also learns to pay attention to the human companion.
I am usually silent and pup learns to pay attention to my movement and naturally come in.
Silence is often under-appreciated.

This can’t be stressed enough. Far too many people talk way too much at their dog, creating background noise. Dogs will learn to tune you out when you’re always talking.

I think my wife would say the same about me .

YES! I demonstrate this in the following video clip.
First half is background noise and dog ignoring the human voice,
second half is a quick puppy response to whistle and reward.
