Eagle Pack is the same great food that it has always been.

Our local store has a "Loyalty Club" that gives you 10% off and Eagle Pack
itself has a Loyaly Club -- save the UPCs -- when you have 12, you send them
in for a free bag.

Perna has been shown in several studies to help inflammation in joints. Glucosamine & Chondroitin seem to be totally useless in human and animal studies when used later in life. They probably has value when used over a lifetime but if you looks at the evidence there is none that it is effective whe...

What supplement and for how long?

I switch at 12 to 14 months for a "large breed" (adult weight 50 lbs or more). IMO, It’s important for puppy owners to feed their puppies food that is specially formulated for growing puppy bodies. Puppies have much different nutritional needs than adult dogs, and proper puppy food is essential for ...

Doobie puffers will probably be too laid back to even want to hunt. They'll be too busy eating Doritos to get off the couch.

Since you're going to be hunting both waterfowl and upland -- and want a 'family dog', I think it would be very difficult to do better than a Pointing lab.

Rate of growth is determined by nutrition.

What program are you following ?

Del Lolo

For both creeping and whining, try a "contradictory" command.
Even if the dog is sitting, command "SIT" or "HEEL - SIT".

Are you following a proven - modern - sequential training program ?
To me it sounds like you are just "winging it".

Del Lolo

Your title says, "steady problems", but your post says it's a whining problem --------- Which one is it.
Steady and whining may or may not be related.

Do you train with a "remote" thrower ? (human or mechanical) Or do you do all of the throws yourself ?
