Thanks for your take. I will check out the book for sure. Ours has a TON of energy and doesn't listen well yet. We've had so many days below zero that getting her out has been a challenge. Thanks for the suggestion....I will check out the books also.

My dog is full blood gsp. She's soooooo hyper! We've tried to introduce loud sounds at fun times like when we play, when she's eating, etc. I'd love to get down there. I'll have to call this week.

Thanks so much for the info. It sounds like a great clinic! So if I haven't started training my dog, is it good to take her to that right out of the gate? Or is it better to start at home then go to the clinic? Sorry for all of the questions...first time for me!

First time I've ever hunted was this fall....best experience of my life. My family wasn't outdoors, but I love it. Taught myself how to fi...

Hello All! I grew up in Bismarck, ND in a home that didn't hunt or fish. I taught myself how to fish and for the first time this year went pheasant hunting.
