English Setters are not necessarily easy to train, since they have a natural tendency to be hunting dogs, which casues them to be more attentive to their outdoor environment than to their trainer. However, they do have a wide range of skills that they can be trained to perform, even if doing so is somewhat difficult. They are especially good bird dogs, but they cannot perform herding. The best training techniques to use are giving plenty of rewards and encouragement, since they have a gentle demeanor and being chastised for wrongdoing makes them rueful.
