A device and method for training a field dog is described herein. The device which is designed to be lightweight and portable, includes an elongated bar member with a plate attached at one end having a plurality of spikes extending downward therefrom. During use, the plate is positioned so that the spikes may be forcible driven into the ground to securely attached the device in the ground. A vertically aligned hook structure is attached to the top surface at approximately the mid-point of the elongated bar member which, during use, engages a rope disposed between the dog and the trainer. When the rope is placed across the top surface of the elongated bar member and moved forward, the hook structure engages the rope and becomes a fulcrum point between the dog and the trainer. An optional pulling handle may be attached to the top surface of the elongated bar member so that the device may be easily removed from the ground. Using the device, a method of training a field dog, such as a pointer or retriever, is also disclosed.
