What Other Jobs Can Hunting Dogs Do?
What other things can hunting dogs do?
Hunting dogs are versatile, intelligent animals. Their size and ability to learn makes them ideal for many tasks that help humans with daily life.
Service dog training helps the disabled
Therapy dog training helps people in hospitals, nursing homes and schools
Rescue dog training helps those trapped and injured
Seeing eye dog training helps the blind
Hearing dog training helps the deaf
Assistance dog training helps the disabled and those with medical needs
What is service dog training?
Many of the sporting breeds are used for service dog training. A service dog is generally an assistance dog who is trained to help people with a disability other than visual or hearing impairment, or a medical response.
Many private organizations raise service dogs with the help of prison inmates or families as puppy-raisers. Puppies learn obedience and basic life skills (socialization) until they are old enough for specific training. Other people train their own dogs at home.
In the U.S. the disabled and their service dogs are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which gives them equal access to anywhere the general public is allowed, such as restaurants, taxis, and aircraft, as well as provides protection for handlers living in places "pets" are generally not allowed.
Canine Companions for Independence is one organization that helps people in need of service dogs. They primarily use Golden Retrievers and Labradors for service dog training.
What is therapy dog training?
Hunting dogs also excel at therapy dog training. Therapy dogs visit nursing home residents, people in hospitals, and children in schools. They are used for emotional support and for educational purposes.
Therapy dogs cheer and comfort people. Therapy dogs usually need to be certified before some places will accept them. Therapy Dogs International, Inc., and the Delta Society are two well-known therapy dog groups.
What is rescue dog training?
The sporting breeds can also be superb when it comes to rescue dog training. Many of the best search and rescue dogs are sporting breeds. The same good nose and sensitivity that works in the field can be put to good use when it comes to finding a missing person or a missing pet. Some of the SAR dogs used following 9/11 were sporting breeds.
What is seeing eye dog training?
People everywhere identify Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers as preeminent seeing eye dogs. Guide Dogs for the Blind base their breeding program on Labs and Goldens, with a small number of Lab/Golden crosses because these breeds excel at their tasks and have the specific qualities needed for seeing eye dog training.
What is hearing dog training?
Hunting dogs also make good hearing dogs for the deaf and hard of hearing. With hearing dog training these dogs alert their owners to a variety of household sounds such as a door knock or doorbell, alarm clock, oven buzzer, telephone, baby cry, name call or smoke alarm. Dogs are trained to make physical contact and lead their deaf partners to the source of the sound.
Any breed can be trained to be a hearing dog as they are generally small to medium in size. Hearing dogs are identified by an orange collar and leash and/or vest. NEADS (Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans) is the oldest continuing hearing dog program in the country.
What is assistance dog training?
Assistance dog training covers dogs with service dog training, hearing dog training, and seeing eye dogs. Some dogs can even be taught to recognize the signs of an impending illness, such as an asthma attack, epilepsy or a diabetic emergency.
Many dogs perform lifesaving actions by alerting their owners or other family members to a medical emergency. Sporting dogs, with their sensitivity and their intelligence, have frequently saved lives with their service dog training.

A Guide to Dog Training teaches viewers how to train a dog with minimal owner frustration. The program offers alternatives to spanking with a rolled-up newspaper to discourage toilet bowl lapping, and better options than shrieking when a dog just won't play nice. An easy-to-follow program, the video demonstrates how to train dogs in a loving, humane manner, and promises to achieve great results with fewer headaches. ~ Betsy Boyd, Rovi Woof! Woof!! Uncle Matty's Guide to Dog Training Famous dog-lover and trainer Uncle Matty (aka Matthew Margolies) has earned the limelight by training dogs of celebrities and making expert appearances on network television. Known for being able to convert a dog to being responsive, sometimes in mere minutes, Uncle Matty's skills are famous in their own rite. His "love, praise, affection" technique is the base of all he has accomplished. In this video, he demonstrates the need to get to the real root of problems, and the importance of training with love and support rather than through punishment. He covers subjects from choosing a puppy and making the dog at ease in your home to obedience and behavior problem solving, all with a loving approach. A dog trainer since 1968, Uncle Matty is the host of the PBS series Woof! It's a Dog's Life and shares his heartfelt knowledge in this informative video. ~ Sarah Sloboda, Rovi |

White Dog - Widescreen $21.99 A little-seen film, suppressed by Paramount studio executives and never released theatrically in the U.S., this drama is a powerful saga about racism. Julie Sawyer (Kristy McNichol) hits a handsome white dog with her car one night and then nurses it back to health. One day, the theretofore mild-mannered dog saves her life by viciously attacking and killing a rapist who breaks into her home. Lucy discovers that the dog has been trained to attack black skin. She consults an animal trainer, Carruthers (Burl Ives), who urges her to have the dog exterminated. But a maverick black trainer, Keys (Paul Winfield), who has tried before to break the training of such dogs but never succeeded, steps in. Director Sam Fuller had made other controversial films, but this one frightened studio executives, who deep-sixed it. It was hailed by critics when it was released in Europe. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi |

Racing Stripes/My Dog Skip - Fullscreen $12.99 Includes:My Dog Skip (2000), MPAA Rating: PG Racing Stripes (2005), MPAA Rating: PG My Dog Skip The popular memoir by Pulitzer prize-winning author Willie Morris became this family comedy-drama about a boy and his dog. Young Willie Morris (Frankie Muniz) is a shy eight-year-old in 1942 Yazoo, MS, who is more comfortable reading than playing sports. A target for local bullies, Willie's only real pal is his older next-door neighbor Dink Jenkins (Luke Wilson), once the town's living sports legend and a big brother figure to Willie, an only child. When Dink is shipped overseas for service in World War II, Willie's mother Ellen (Diane Lane) finally forces his gruff father Jack (Kevin Bacon) to allow into the family a pet dog, a Jack Russell terrier named Skip. The smart and playful Skip gets his owner into a series of adventures on the baseball field and with a band of moonshiners, quickly turning Willie into a popular, accepted kid who even wins the affections of the school's prettiest girl, Rivers Applewhite (Caitlin Wachs). In the meantime, Dink returns from war branded a coward for an incident that occurred in combat but finds an unexpected ally in the normally taciturn Jack, a fellow veteran. Harry Connick Jr. narrated as the adult Willie; the role of Skip was played in later scenes by Moose, the pooch star of television's Frasier. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi Racing Stripes A horse of a different pattern becomes a spoiler in a high-stakes race in the family-friendly comedy-drama. Nolan Walsh (Bruce Greenwood) is a farmer who once earned his living training racehorses before his wife was killed in an accident while riding, which led him to leave the racing game. Nolan tends to his farm and looks after his daughter Channing (Hayden Panettiere) and a large flock of animals, who speak to one another but not to humans. After a traveling circus passes through town, a zebra pony is left behind; Nolan takes in the animal, intending to return it to the circus, but at Channing's insistence they keep the zebra, naming him Stripes (voiced by Frankie Muniz). Channing loves Stripes, and the zebra is welcomed by the other critters on the farm, including grumpy Shetland pony Tucker (voiced by Dustin Hoffman), slow-moving hound dog Lightning (voiced by Snoop Dogg), a New Jersey-born pelican named Goose (voiced by Joe Pantoliano), skinny-brained rooster Reggie (voiced by Jeff Foxworthy), and deep-thinking goat Franny (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg). Channing discovers that Stripes can outrun nearly any horse around, and Woodzie (M. Emmett Walsh), a local character who has spent years handicapping the ponies, is convinced the zebra would be shoo-in in the Kentucky Open, a prestigious race held at the estate of champion horse breeder Clara Dalrymple (Wendie Malick). Channing believes Stripes can win, but he'll need the help of Nolan, who isn't so sure he's ready to start training again; meanwhile, Stripes gets plenty of advice from the other farm animals about his big step on |
