Gary, as you know, you and I are at similar stages with our dogs. If you think you might have interest in any type of club or trialing or testing, I would definitely recommend giving it a try and seeing what happens. I joined a local NAVHDA chapter and have been training for the better part of this ...

Hey Gary, even though Marsha and Joe didn't own Tucker's dam, I bought him from Marjo's and named him Marjo's Tuck of the Irish - i know i know, corny, but i was in the same boat, didn't really mean a whole heck of a lot to me since I only call him Tucker, haha. I'm not creative so I don't have any ...

tmoneysju

i joined my local navhda chapter and will pursue their testing as well as hunt with my pup

tmoneysju

I would also check out Lion Country Supply. Their Game Bird Bag can hold quite a few birds while still being a pretty manageable size. They don't have the option of a brass snap - which now that I think about it, probably would come in handy - but otherwise, I have a few that have served me very we...

what I always read and was told was for thunderstorms but same principle....don't make it a big deal, you stay calm, act as if it doesn't bother you, play with him/her like normal and just try to keep things normal. The radio is probably not a bad idea too.

Gar-dog/Sambuca, can one of you pm me with some details about the application process? dues, type of info they ask... I'm trying to decide whether to apply there, it's right in the toss-up zone for me distance wise to get use out of it on a regular basis (about an hour to and hour and 15 minutes) if...

i definitely agree with having another dog around that can swim or going in yourself. We introduced my brit to water with a shallow creek near our house. We would take him there a few times a week and he loved it, he would run the lenght of the creek playing but when he got to the deeper part he wou...

i'm going tomorrow nice and early to get most of the work done hopefully before the heat gets to its max.

How do you find out how much your e-coller is worth? I was thinking about selling mine but I have no idea how much to sell it for. Does the collar clinic pay decent for trade ins? I have a Dogtra 2-dog collar bought new in 2003. The model is NCP 2002. Thanks, Brian have you tried to find places onl...

The best tip I ever heard came from wagonmaster. He carries a spray bottle of water and spray's the dogs chest now and them. Putting water on a dogs back does little good, it needs to get on their chest. I like water on their head too. When I trained in heat, I always kept wash tubs full of water o...

At 90 degrees and hours on end, what do you hope to accomplish.????????????????????? Just wondering. No place to cool the dog when it is like that, even air conditioning. Be careful, could be very dangerous. Pepper i dont want you to have the impression that'll we'll be out running for hours on end...

I'm going to a training day tomorrow and the weather is going to be close to 90. I'm not going to have my dog out running hard for hours on end, but there will be a decent amount of training and exercises for him. There is a pond so he will get a chance to cool off there but I was wondering what tip...

Might I suggest one of each? Or at least a retriever and a gsp. I have a chessie and a gsp. Gunner, our chessie will never be cold. He has had some amazing waterfowl retrieves in weather that was basically unbearable to hunt in, partially frozen water and driving snow just this last year. When it c...

definitely a phishing scam, looking for personal information, most likely bank information later down the line once they reel you in

tmoneysju

The best way to teach your pup to not point a bird is put scent on a dummy and have him track it. A dog should scent a bird and it fly off, that is why they point. Do not mess with fake scent, get your pup (you don't mention age or previous experience) on live birds for pointing, then use a bird fo...

it is navhda training

tmoneysju

Any opinions on what type of scent to use for scent training? Specifically drags, tracks and the like? I'll eventually be hunting pheasant, grouse and chukkar but wasn't sure which was the best one to use, is one stronger than the other? I'm going to be getting some bumpers to use and scent to go al...

we're considering buying heartgard medicine online as it's a lot cheaper than going through our vet. We had a negative test last week so we're comfortable giving him the medicine. some of the sites that come up as selling it are: petcarerx.com 1800petmeds totalpetsupply.com I guess I'm just doing a ...

tmoneysju

I have similar issues with Tucker although I seem to be able to keep him moving on our normal walks a little easier than you. I pretty much ignore them if we're out on a formal walk where he's heeling the whole way. If he's in the backyard or in a field I let him go at it. in case your thinking it m...

yeah the coupon is always there sometimes it doesn't pop up on the product you are looking at but you can find it. NO I didn't sell the collar yet. not worried about it worst case I have an extra, NAVHDA training starts up next week so I'll probably sell it there or just hang onto it. nice to have ...

tmoneysju

well, I think I found the formula, his last exercise for the day was coming between 6-7 pm. The other night i decided to talk him for a quick walk around 9. It was about 15 minutes long, heeling the whole time and when we got back, here were the results...I duplicated this again last night with the ...

i agree, great pics, thanks

Question... How long is he crated during the day? Being crated all day, it is only natural that he would want to go.. go... go.. Unfortunatley you have already been go... go... go.. at your job and now it's his turn. :lol: . he's out of the crate at 6:15 am, goes for a 30 minute walk, eats breakfas...

tmoneysju

just a general question about my ~7 month old brittany pup, his activity level is absolutely through the roof. The only time he stops moving is when he's laying down chewing a marrow bone or looking out the window. I hope my tone isn't mistaken for complaining as I'm not, but this is the first dog i...

I looked for answers to this question a few months ago when I brought home my britt puppy. We initially thought one of those big metal exercise pens would do the trick while we were away but he was a lot crazier and more stressed out in there than inside his crate. I was initially coming home every ...

mine is almost 6 mos. old and he's crated anytime we can't give him direct supervision. That means while we're at work. I've been coming home during the middle of the day to let him out to go to the bathroom and stretch but then it's back in the crate. At first I felt bad about it but he's much more...
