*BUMP*

Great oppotunity for you to learn the mechanics of training in a low pressure format to retain style and intensity in your bird dog.

Karen - One thing comes to mind. Around here, they sometimes plant birds for puppy stakes in AKC. That drives me nuts. About he last thing I need is for my youngster to be out there rousting birds, catching birds and all of that, while I cannot do anything about it in the way of discipline. In AF s...

I have a Tritronics Sport Basic G3 . It is very basic but has been all I've needed. Very durable, no problems.

This is a good, reliable collar for a beginner.

Congrats to you and Zio.

I use a great trainer in SC. One of my dogs is there now. I wasn't happy with what I found here in FL. I also joined GMHT Hunt Club in Lake Wales and train there weekly with my other dog.

Come out and train with us one day. PM me if you want more info.

Any pet of mine that killed another pet of mine would probably be looking for a new home very quickly. As far as I am concerned, any dog that lives in my house had better learn not to harass, harm or kill my pet house cat. No more than they are allowed to harass, harm or eat my furniture, shoes, an...

I second Lindley kennels in SC. Mo is training my dog right now.

Maybe the tail set wasn't such a big deal. Maybe the judge just liked the other dog(s) better. Did the judge make any comments?

Jolee has a low tail set, but some judges didn't mind that as much as poor rear angulation, etc.

I feel bad about crating my dogs for more than a few hours at a time so I take them to daycare 2-3 times weekly. It not only keeps them excercised and conditioned, but it greatly improves theier social skills around other dogs and people. Yes it does cost, but I can imagine it is no more expensive t...

dogirl

Nice clips...

Just curious as to what method you have employed to get your dog steady to wing since it is so young. Did you use an ecollar or just the cc?

Whats the All Star? Honestly, dropping him off with a show handler is going to be tuff. If stuff does not happen pretty quick I won't make it... Sounds like a serious case of separation anxiety...LOL. Maybe you should give it a try. If my two left feet can make it around the ring and put points on ...

I had a hawk try and snatch one out of the air two days ago. I was in the process of kicking a few young birds out of the loft to fly when it happened. I had just shooed them off the roof of the loft when the hawk swooped down. Luckily, I ran towards the hawk and it dropped the bird. The hawk then f...

dogirl

The flew out of sight the other day, but then sat of the neighbors roof for about 5-10 minutes before trapping. Today, they did some fine acrobats overhead for about 2-3 minutes (but not out of sight), then trapped quickly anticipating feeding time.

...or anyone else with pigeon knowledge... Once the young pigeons start routing, how long before you start training them? I have a group of young ones that have just started routing. Boy, they come in real fast when they are hungry. I had them out the other day and they stayed out until tired, but t...

The local NAVHDA chapter was looking into having a snake proofing clinic. The GSP clubs usually have one together over the summer. I will see if I can get info for you.

Go with the Hickox videos IMO! I just returned Sunday from his 4 day school in Hugoton, KS. This was my second time to attend, with the first time being about 3 1/2 years ago. His method hasn't changed, but he is doing alot more with the young dogs and fine tuning things throughout the program. The...

In the yard everything is controlled and the distraction of birds is not there. Here's a few that never had a bird shot for them till they were 100% in the yard on whoa and had been FF'd, never broke after that on a wild bird and never broke after that on a training bird. None of them were check co...

dogirl

natetnc, I am pretty much the same place in training as you. Once I finished in the yard however, I kind of started over in the field. Essentially practicing WHOA with distractions away from hunting, pointing. I use launchers and bring her upwind and pop the bird. WHOA her a millisecond later. Or I ...

Mine really improved the way my dog picked up bumpers/birds and eliminated the rolling of the bumper/bird in her mouth. I am very pleased. Have not tried the scent yet.

Wow...I know how you feel. He had a great life with you. He was a lucky dog.

I know you spoil your pups...and I know I am not suppose to let people know your soft side HAHA My main point is trying to mostly rewire a thought process that goes with training and what the e collar should be about..cause it isn't the collar that is the problem it is the hands which controls the ...

dogirl

WiskeyJaR, You just have to find the combination of tools and tchniques that work for you and your dog. One thing I do like about the clicker is that is can help improve the timing of the trainer, thus making he/she a better trainer no matter what method/tool they happen to be using. Just my 2 cents...

dogirl

It's amazing they have been teaching dolphins to do all kinds of tricks using a clicker and a few fish, but we gun dog owners refuse to keep learning that there may be better ways to teach our dogs the same old tricks. Interesting that George Hickox and many other top level trainers are using the c...

dogirl

hmmm, i'm not too keen on this type of training but maybe as a pup its good to teach the basics but as you get into more advanced work I'm not so sure how well this works. People who advocate clicker training are totally against "hunters" and their methods. If you even mention the word ecollar they...

dogirl

My current litter was started with clicker training. I find it very useful for placeboard training and recall. Pups are now 4 mos. old and have been retrieving back to the placeboard since they were 12 weeks of age. I have transitioned that to retrieving right back to hand now without the placeboar...

dogirl

My GWP was the exactly the same. She simply found hunting more rewarding than the retrieve. Each dog is different in what they find more rewarding. There are many way to increase a dog's retrieve drive. For my dog, if she wanted something (in, out, play with another dog, hunt, etc.) I made her retre...

WJ, This is my first bird dog and I came close to sending her off this summer, but I am glad I didn't. I loathed the thought of her being away from home. I too wanted to do all the training because I really enjoy it and love seeing the fruits of my labor. I did join NAVHDA and I also found a trainer...

I have a GWP who is the same. Had a siuation this morning involving a kitten, a shed, and 10 dogs...no lie. My dog has a VERY reliable recall reinforced with the e-collar. I had no trouble calling her away from the frenzy, but I did spend another 15 minutes chasing down another of the pack who was n...
