my style is somewhat like Paul's...not much verbal communications but also don't want fear from my dog...a quick correction might just be a "GET BACK" and a quick hand signal in the direction I want the dog to back up...no names ans a "pst" to get there attention. When the dogs are working a track I will holler encouragement with 3 hi, hi,hi's (pronounced like the first syllable of hiccup) and about three claps and this usually fires the dogs up...to get ahead I rev up the 4 wheeler about 3 times and they dash ahead...the main command is to call them in...loading up I load them myself...the pups need help to load up in my 4x4 f-350 so I just deal with it even when they are grown...
my dogs are trained or rather conditioned to my way as pups...I holler my pups in to feed and dinner time and when they are running flat out towards me I clap my hands a few times...I call them in just as I would calling them out of the woods...then I give the "KENNEL" command along with a hand signal as they are running towards the kennel to feed...When they run towards me for a treat when I call I fire a cap pistol and they are trained...Body language is key...got to read the dogs to get the most out of them with the least amount of effort...
"get em" "hi" "hi" "hi" "GET EM" and a few claps for the dogs to catch and a sharp "GET BACK" to make them back away from a boar...
I used to do the sit, stay, and heal, and now I just do it the easy way...no real training just teaching the dogs the bare minimum...I just take advantage of the moment and I add a verbal and a hand signal to there momentum...
I just keep it simple because a higher level of training is not important to me...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
