 Ingle & Mead's Vizsla - Entwinned Training
He says an obedience-titled dog has a head start in pointing breed field training because it already obeys commands, handles kindly (willingly), takes directions and knows the difference between work and play.
He says the dog never becomes confused because it wears a different collar for every activity (everyday wear, field, obedience and show), and he always takes the time to put the appropriate collar on the dog, even for a five-minute review.
Sharkey believes the benefits of entwined training are mutual because a field-trained dog also has a head start when preparing for the obedience ring.
