I have trained several different breeds of hunting dogs. If i wanted to train a dog to kill otters or beavers, would get a dead one and start using it to train with. After the first training event freeze the otter and us it again a few times. Using your excitement when doing it and that will transfer to some dogs but not all of them. It goes to a dogs genetics and aggressive behaver. If the dogs are not gun shy, you might throw it around and shoot around it while tossing it around the water and shore line. Beginning trainers might teach some bad habits but some dogs will work around that.
