Advanced Placeboard Training DVD with Team Rytex – Precision Training for Placework & Steadiness
The Advanced Placeboard Training DVD with Team Rytex is a focused instructional video designed to enhance placeboard skills, steadiness and positional control for gundog handlers and trainers. Featuring expert demonstrations and step-by-step guidance, this DVD provides clear direction on how to develop confident, controlled placework — a cornerstone of disciplined training, retrieves and steadiness under distraction.
Presented by Team Rytex, a recognised training team with substantial experience in fieldwork, controlled drills and competitive handling, this DVD breaks down handling techniques, training progressions and real-world application of placeboard skills. Placework — essentially teaching a dog to go to a designated spot and remain attentive and stable — is crucial for advanced obedience, retrieve set ups, whistle control and remote handling.
The DVD format lets you watch, pause and repeat demonstrations during your own training sessions, making it a practical companion tool that complements hands-on work in the field or at home.
Benefits
Placeboard training develops steadiness, attention and positional control — skills that are essential for disciplined training sessions, controlled retrieves and competitive performance. This DVD format allows handlers to learn at their own pace, revisit key lessons and directly translate theoretical instruction into practical fieldwork. By reinforcing clear handler cues and consistent progressions, it helps build confident, reliable responses from the dog.
