I have a English Pointer bird dog that is 22 months old. I am a beginner trainer and am having problems. I started out with force training with little success and I have now switched to clicker training. I am having some success with the clicker however the dog seems mostly apprehensive during the training sessions,(tail down, head down, slow to respond). I base loaded the dog and he seems to understand the click and treat thing.My biggest concern right now is the dog will not scent -point,in pointing dog circles this is called a sour point or blinking, smelling the bird but not stopping to point. Any ideas or pointers (excuss the pun) would be very helpful.
