Teaching a young gun dog to confidently search water starts with simplicity, patience, and building confidence the right way. In this video, Todd Harvey explains how he introduces young gundogs to water retrieves and early water searching using simple, positive sessions designed to build desire, confidence, and natural hunting instincts.
