004.jpg Training a golden retriever called Rocket. 3456 x 2304 Otto (left) plus forest ranger plus Bavarian mountain hound . 2304 x 3456.“Zis,” said Otto panting, “is like sex vis my neighbour’s vife, viz-OUT a condom.” Three of us had just run up a mile of hill in driving sleet, through a Christmas tree plantation after a wounded wild boar. The animal we had been following lay dead at his feet.This is Otto’s passion. Armed with a Blaser R93 “Offroad” which has a short barrel, iron sights and a sling on the side of its barrel for fast deployment, there is nothing he likes better than bringing a boar to book. Otto always takes the day off work after a hunt, so that he is available to go out and look for wounded boar.Otto’s eight-year-old Bavarian mountain hound Ikon (kennel name Ikon von der Fuchleiten) has found 700 wild boar in its career. Otto knows, because he writes down details of each one. Tracking a wounded wild boar can take up to three hours. He followed one a fortnight before the shoot which went three miles and three hours before he found it. At the last, he let the dog off and followed him with a radio tracker. He found the dog barking at the boar at bay. It smelt him and ran. The dog grabbed the boar, rolled it and let go. Otto was able to shoot it. This one took an hour. Otto started with Ikon on a long lead. The dog has to combine the skills of patience that makes a good trailhound with being a boar attack dog.We found where the boar had been hit – small traces of fat and blood were on the ground. The shooter had marked the area with fluorescent tape. The dog uses its nose and Otto his eyes to continue up the hill.Otto found where the wounded animal had rested first. then it must have heard us coming and set off. As he reached the top of the hill at a run, Otto pointed to a spruce plantation. “That is his hospital,” he said. He unslipped Ikon and the dog went into attack mode, bounding into the trees.We burst into a small clearing after him. The boar stood 20ft away, at bay. It saw us and rattled its

013.jpg Training a golden retriever called Rocket. 3456 x 2304 Wiltshire gundog trainer Nick Gregory training a golden retriever called Rocket.Teaching an older dog to retrieve, you start by teaching it to stop. On the lead, stop, say “sit”, put one hand up like a policeman, tug on the lead with the other and blow the stop whistle (usually one blast) all at once. Then give the dog lots of praise if it does it.Mary found that doing all those things at once took some practice. Once Rocket had got the hang of it, Nick let Mary do it with the dog walking to heel, off the lead.Nick said that teaching a three-month-old puppy to stop, you don’t need to be walking it on the lead. Simply say “sit” and blow the stop whistle at the same time. If it does it, reward it with a retrieve. There are no food rewards for Rocket. “His reward is the retrieve,” said Nick.2304 x 3456

014.jpg Wiltshire gundog trainer Nick Gregory training a golden retriever called Rocket. 3456 x 2304 A BMH can follow animals in two ways – with his nose on the blood trail and with his eyes and nose on the tracks. For that, BMH owner Helmut Huber uses special shoes supplied by the BMH German owners’ club.To train the dog to track animals, you ask a friend to set off across country for up to a mile-and-a-half wearing these shoes fitted with hooves – these are a wild boar’s trotters. You have to use trotters or hooves from the same animal and the track has top be as natural as possible. Helmut always transports the shoes upside down so that no scent from the ground accidentally attaches to their soles. Nor, when the shoes are on, does he let the straps trail on the ground He goes to great lengths to disguise the scent of the walker, too, but inevitably some of his or her trail is laid. Helmut’s wife usually lays the trail because, if he did it, it would confuse the dog. The dog would learn wrongly to follow his master’s scent and not the tracks. However, Helmut likes to do his training in areas with an abundance of game so that there are plenty of other tracks to tempt the dog. The aim is to teach the dog to concentrate only on the scent of one set of tracks.“A blood dog needs always to work,” says head jaeger Frau Mueller. “Helmut works Gero three times a week and, if he doesn’t, he must do training exercises. Te dog doesn’t enjoy training so much but Helmut forces him to train.”3456 x 2304

Later on Nick adds in the bang of a starter pistolThis was more confusing for Rocket and he started to get muddled, running in on “sit”. Nick repeated each exercise up to half a dozen times. He did not try to teach Rocket the “drop” or “ dead” commands at this stage – that could come later.When Rocket made a mistake, Nick would exaggerate his displeasure, running at the dog roaring. He asked Mary to do the same – though roaring and running is not really her style. “I’ve got to learn to get cross with him,” she said.dog, dogs3456 x 2304
