Re: Training your puppy...
It all depends on the dog. Basic obedience for me starts at day one, always keeping things positive. Don't pressure a puppy make it fun. Your puppy is still young and you have lots of time until next season. Mfg able to read your dog knowing when to back off and when to push forward is important. It...
Remi
I've been waiting for a pup for almost a year now. A couple litters fell through but the wait was worth it. Here she is Silver Bullets Lil Miss Remington "REMI". Thank you Matt I couldn't be happier.

Re: New GSP is home
I don't know how the test differs from AKC and CKC. I would expect them to be similar though. Be prepared to run with a bracemate. You don't want your dog chasing the other dog around instead of hunting. The judges will probably be riding horses introduce your dog to them also for the same reason. A...

Re: Retrieval of bumper without force fetch?
In the NAVHDA NA test the dog only has to show a willingness to enter the water. In other words the dog must enter and swim twice retrieval of the bumper is not required.

Try patterning the gun. I bought a CA bobwhite sxs and had the same problem. I couldn't hit anything. I patterned it and found out it was shooting over a foot low at 20 yards. I hope you figure it out.

Also make sure the collar is tight and getting a good connection or the stimulation will vary. When the dog is wet in the field the contact is increased also be aware and vary the stimulation accordingly.

Re: whoa training for a newbie
Whoa has nothing to do with birds. It is a command to stand still or stop and stand still. The barrel teaches the dog to stand in one spot, nowhere else to go. The carpet gives the dog traction for a sure footing. Rocking the barrel makes a fidgety dog steady its balance or stiffen up. I start on th...

Re: how did you all fix this?
Maybe I don't understand. Don't you want to be the one to flush the birds? Or do you want the dog to do it. My first shorthairs were strictly hunting dogs and I did have them trained to flush on command.

Re: how did you all fix this?
This is just my opinion so take it for what it is worth. If you let your dog get away with something i.e. chasing, breaking whatever, you are really telling the dog it is ok. This creates a bigger problem having to break them of a behavior you condoned. Never let a dog get away with anything they ta...
