FOr French Brits contact Randy at the link below. I have trained with him and his dogs are very nice. He is an outstanding guy.

Cant help with a Brit, but have you looked into a Small Munsterlander. They do upland, waterfowl and can track deer. Not to mention they are great house and family dogs. Plus, I am betting if you show your wife a picture she will see they are cute as heck! http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/ladybo...

"Desire" has nothing to do with force fetching. It isnt Desire fetching.

Bumpers should be placed not thrown during Force Fetch.
Sounds to me like you havent instilled a sense of urgency with the dog. Maybe have taken the pressure off way to soon.

Munster

Astro hands down for me. I like the simplicity.

I have done this a few times. Works out best for when the dog does everything right and you decide to kill the bird.

When I lose a homer it KILLS me!

Munster

I got ya and know where you are coming from. But to much can go wrong with the tethering and make things un natural for the dog. Then, I feel, the check cord makes it between you and the dog and not the dog and the bird. her point will improve when birds fly! Good luck to you. Yeah, to do this with ...

Munster

No, but you may hurt the dog........ Launchers and homing pigeons or ferel pigeons. Treat the birds as if they are wild..........and wild birds dont wear tetheres. Free run pup on launchers, he hits scent cone and twitches a nose hair, bird is gone........end of story. He hits point, kill the bird a...

Munster

Good idea Ray. Only problem is that I need both hands. One on the ear and the other the bumper. My chain is attached to the cable with a wheel thingy. SOrry, not very technical. Maybe I need to just suck it up and deal with it. LOL

Munster

You are pretty close to understanding. So the dog is attached to the cable that runs above the table. How do you make the trolley so you can tighten it up on the cable to create tension so the dog has to pull harder to get the object. PUlly might work though.........Thanks

Munster

I have a FF table with the cable that runs on top. I want to make it so that I can adjust tension on the line connected to the dog. I have a bum back and a bum left arm. I use my left arm to hold the dog while I have them drive towards the bumper. I just dont have the arm strength anymore to hold ba...

Munster

Yeah, I get the same thing with my little bitch. As a bonus, it always seems she is in heat when I have her signed up for a test. Great fun. On the flip side, when it comes to hunting, she is more aggressive with how she handles birds and I LOVE hunting her in season. Also, I am a little quirky duri...

Munster

Does he act like his rear bothers him any other time? I ask because I had an 8 week old pup doig the same thing. I ended up greasing a finger and found a piece of wood stuck in there. It would hit the "Rim" and stick.

Took my birds 10 miles for the first time and they made it home in about 35 minutes. I watched them circle in the air about 6 times before they headed home.

Going to do it again when the weather cools.

What are your thoughts on temps and flying. Figure just common sense.

Munster

Here is a dumb one,LOL When you start flying the birds, do you have to take them in different Directions or just one? I flew 20 yesterday only about 5 miles. 2 were still squeking, but I thought they were old enough. All but one made it home. So I will drop them in that location one more time and th...

LOVE this video! It also hits home. Had all 4 hounds out on a run and only 3 ecollars. My 10 year old ran into this little guy and I couldnt get her off. Not in the first 2 pictures she is happy as a clam.......not so much in the 3rd picture. I didnt have skunk off, so I used dawn and orange mechani...

Thanks Ezzy!

The Re-homing fee" is getting to be.......make that......is a played out term for a dog being for sale. Frustrating. It is just how people are and you cant change it. You just might have to step up the screening process? Ask for a copy of the mortgage etc. If they dont want to show it, then they don...

So, we bought a new truck. This time we went with the sliding rear glass and also a sliding glass on the topper. I want to know if anyone else has this set up and the best method of circulating air from the cab to the topper. I am thinking an inflated inner tube to seal the gap and a fan to plug int...

When she has the accident I pick her up right away, tell her no then take her our right away. I always leash her when I take her out to potty otherwise she'll just run around and play. If she does her duty, I praise with a treat, if nothing after 10 minutes, we go back in. I crate her for a few min...

Munster

Im just a little diffrent from ezzy. As we all know there is always more than one way to skin a cat. When I catch the pup making a mistake, I brow beat them( You bad dog) no physical punishment. I keep in mind that his mistake is partly my own. The pup then goes into the crate, I have NEVER had any ...

Munster

This is one of those with no right or wrong answer. I keep my dew claws on all my pups. My dogs have their dews as well. I hae had zero issues with the claws and I hunt 3-4 days a week during hunting season. I think they key is to keep them high and tight. Keep them cleanly clipped. There is actuall...

Kinda neat, Max made the cover of NAVHDA. Probably because he has a great personal photographer in our good friend Denise! Thanks D.

very nice dog. Have you checked out the Leerburg website? They have some top notch trainer with videos on Marker training, positive training and focused obedience training. Most videos are done with Mals, but you will get the idea.

Have the vet send the perscription through Wal-Mart. I think I only paid 175.00 for it.

Munster

Yeah, I would have just walked up to her and corrected her. When you said whao, you lost your ability to correct the behavior that she screwed up. Just keep working at it, you will get it done. I am far from a pro. I have 2 dogs under my belt and working on a third. Try the video thing. I am betting...

Munster

you should probably talk to Grahm about your issues. But I would say, just from the short post, that you have been bouncing around with sources of correction. Just because she bulls up, which I take to mean, bulks, doesnt mean you stop and change tactics. You have to bull up and get through the sess...

Not sure it can be taught, if it isnt there. But it can be awakened if it is there.

My guess is it is there in any good bird dog. It just needs to be awakened in one not exposed.

Munster

Try this.

Munster

try the versatile dog forum, there are a lot of PP owners there.

Munster

Didnt get to see anything. But I will say I couldnt stand hunting with that kind of noise. I dont talk, yell or whistle when I hunt. The dude would have drove me bonkers.

CF Plus supplement http://www.ik9sb.com/Breeding_Supplies.asp I had an issue with my male after a hard winter hunting season.

Love my go pro 3. I have the silver. For working dogs I would recommend switching the function to 1080 NARROW. This will bring the shots closer and no fisheye affect.

It can be a problem and can go beyond just red balls. My male actually lost his sperm count. I dont breed him in the winter now and I restrict how cold I hunt w=him when I have a bitch in for breeding. I have also modified some dog britches to help keep them warm and toasty. Funny to some, but I don...

I had one. It did not have enough intensity for a high strong lab. Mine also had the bark eliminator, which did not work. Don't waste your money on the one with the bark eliminator. If your dog is mild, the stimilus part will probably be OK. If your dog is strong willed, look elsewhere. Just my exp...

Tail tucked doesnt sound like a dominant aggression, sounds like fear or miss trust. Could also be that he knows he is going to be corrected for the behaviour.

Munster

Hopefully you have a routine when you collar your dog.
When I go training or hunting it is the same routine. I always turn the collar on by their heads and then put them on the dog. If you are smart, you can figure out your own routine that works for you. Get in your dogs head.

Munster

Glue it and then Tape it and put the cone of shame on. or bitter apple.

Wonder if you could tape it to his leg.............that might be wierd though
