Caniscaeli Setters

Irish Red And White Setters are a "soft" breed and that is the most important thing to remember. They want to please. Be careful not to destroy the bond you need to have with him. If you are training your dog yourself (always the best choice for this breed) use a humane training method. If using a trainer, make sure you choose wisely. Not all trainers will understand the setter personality. If you are learning yourself, the best thing is a trainer who will train you along with your dog. Ask questions, and don't rush the process. Your setter will finish as a willing and exciting worker if the training methods are motivational. Electronic collars may occasionally have their use in certain circumstances and in the hands of experts. But they must never be used by a frustrated or angry owner/trainer. 
Many in this breed are natural retrievers, and/or they back naturally. Some have an instinctive knowledge about handling birds, others need more experience. Use this to your advantage and work motivationally with these traits when you find them.   Whether your aim is for field titles, or a hunting companion, or both, remember that all dogs, and people too, learn by making mistakes. Use your intelligence to discover ways to overcome training problems, rather than resorting to an e-collar first. If the training process is a positive experience, the finished dog should understand the rules of the "game" and want to work for and with you.
