In brief:

• Build an alternative reinforcer
• Teach the dog to recall off game before stopping/sitting
• Teach the dog to stop/sit to flush
• Teach the dog that access to the game is contingent on their response to you (if they respond, they may get it)
• Implement prevention (by itself this won't work without also teaching the dog what to do)
