What type of gloves you use? Looking for something where I can shoot and find the buttons on the ecollar. Nothing big and bulky. Need to keep hands warm too. Right now it is18 and a 18mph wind. Thanks

Thinking of FF my dog. She will find birds but he ha's on the way back with a victory lap behind me. What is the best program that you guys use? What are some of the mistake that you have come across? If I mess up will she shut down all retrieving? She is a 2 1/2 year old EP. Thanks

I know how you feel. I am no pro and on my second dog.It seam like it takes a million hours but it worth it. Good luck

My EP did this at 8 months.She would lay down 75 feet from the bird. I was told she was confused and didn't know what I wanted. I was then told to put the birds away for awhile. I waited 2 months. Got her back on birds and no problem.viewtopic.php?f=89&t=37681. Good luck

Bass Pro . 2 1/2 years later and still using it

I have my EP on a CC for 2 1/2 years. I am ready to advance to E collar. I guess I am asking what not to do. I hunted last year with a buddy that had a 9 month GSP. All he did was yell and push the button. I have come to far for that type of training. She is trained on whistle and comes on command. ...

I think Sharon nail it. She did get a butt whipped and a harsh scolding. Yes my Grandson follows me around I guess she thinks he is taking her spot. She seams to be fine and have kept the kids at a safe distance. I did notice I was walking her around the outside of the house and my 7 year old grandd...

I notice my 2 1/2 EP female started to nip at my Grandson that is 8 years old. There was no growling and no aggression of any signs. She got him on the leg no blood but you could see where it was. I was 2 ft away when and got on her in a second. Just wonder what others do in the type of situation? H...

How old is the dog?

Big bloc

Please DO NOT try the natural stuff like pennyroyal oil. My brother in law put some on this dog because he wanted to be natural and the dog died. That was the last time he tried any thing like that

Big bloc

Leash or check cord. Just let them drag it around and get use to it. That way when it go's some place you don't want it you can pull the leash or step on the cord and give a command. Good Luck

Big bloc

You might try to use hand signals at the same time. I pat the side of my leg to come for heel .And for whoa I use STOP with my hand in the air just like a cop. Stop means stop. Also she can see your hands at a distance. Good Luck

Big bloc

What I did is take a 2X2 about 6" long. Get some feathers and use plastic ties to hold them on. Then I took #6 finish nails and drove them in until about 1/4" of the head stuck out at random areas. You can start with nails first if you want. I kike to use goose feathers they are more durable. Good L...

I got my pup 2 years ago in January and yes my wife and I hated it. I keep her inside a crate at night and first thing in the morning took her out. I bet she didn't have 2 accidents in 1 week. I think the cold speeds up the process of potty training. She had it down in less than a week. Good luck

Off to vet we go

I get up this morning and feed the dog a normal 1 cup. Took her out side to do her so she could potty . After 1 hour she throw up. Took her out side again she would not leave my side. She is a house dog. It was funny because wanted to lay in the snow its 20 degrees out side. Went back in the inside ...

First gun dog was a vizsla. Yes I trained her my self. At first I was looking for a trainer. Found 1 and he wanted $500.00 bucks a month plus birds. For 3 months. That was 13 years ago. That was higher then my rent. I talked to him a while and he asked If I raised kids. I told him yes. He sad then y...

Yes you can. I am no pro but read a ton of books and a lot of time. I check in to the same thing 15 years ago and the trainer told me the dog was the easy part he would have to train me. After reading books I see what he meant. Just remember 5 minutes a day will get you further then 30 minutes on a ...

I had the same problem with bumpers they are boring. After that I got a paint roller, went to the park and got some goose ,duck, pigeons feathers and used plastic ties to hold them on. Throw it in air and make sure that she knows that is your toy. Keep it fun. My dog is 2 now and I still have the pa...

I do not own a ecollar but from what I read on here it sounds simple. You are going to build a house. You have all the lumber sitting there. Now you have 2 tools a hand saw and skil saw. Both will cut the would you need. But the hand saw will take longer to get the house built

Big bloc

I was thinking about a e collar but wanted what happens when it fails. What back up plan do you use? Do you pack it in and go home if your out in the field? Does the dog know its not working and takes off? Just wanted some thoughts on this. Thanks

Big bloc

Teaching manners is great but keep up your program and you'll have a dog that hunts 15 feet in front of you. Bird dog training isn't about control, control, control. It's about gaining their cooperative independence at a range useful to you. Take your pup to a safe place where she can run and explo...

I had a Vizsla about ten years ago before she passed away. The best thing I like about all I had to do was let the dog out of the dog box when I went hunting she did the rest. A lot of people said she work too close but she would find tight setting birds that everybody walked by. The same when when ...

Big bloc

You have to make fun. I used a paint roller and wrap feathers around it with plastic ties. Make sure they know its your toy. Keep the pup on CC while you toss it . Bumpers are boring to a pup. After they pick up make them come to you use the CC to reel in. I am no pro but trained a V dog and EP this...

I come for knowledge. I have have learned a lot on training and other stuff. I am glad I found this place

Keep his leash on at all times. When you step on it give him no slack. He wont even make a inch off the ground. I know it sounds cruel but try to get him to jump up. He will learn fast. This worked for me now she don't even try it. Good luck

Big bloc

You have to make it fun. What are you using? this is pretty young for a pup to stay focus. I would use a paint roller covered in feathers get the pup excited over it then toss it about 10 foot out in short grass. Only do it 2 or 3 times at first then stop with the dog wanting more Good luck

10 years ago I had a female Vizsla took her 2 1/2 years to point. I tried everything,planted and wild and showed nothing. Then one day out hunting she lock up. We were in the middle of covey of quail. from that day on she pointed all the time. I now have a EP just under 2 and has been pointing birds...

Its not a race. I been with people in the pass that think the faster you get through the field you get to birds faster. Not true. All you did is walk right by them. I don't hunt with them any more. You are also teaching the dog the same thing. They will think it is a race and be unproductive. Good l...

I know this sounds funny but I use the wash machine dog box. It is so simple. Just gut a wash machine. Slap a back on it and a floor and a door. Your done .

I keep my pigeons in a flight pen. I have this hawk that keeps landing on the top. Birds go crazy until I run him off.Is there something like a scare crow effect I could put on top. I want to fly the birds but not until I get a handle on this. Thank you
