Does this dog have a good pedigree?

A professional.

I went one time by myself and never even said take em so that theory can't be right.

I worked him by myself from his blind with dummy's and he broke twice out if 20 times. I low ecollared him when he broke and he started to figure it out. I'm sure it's a lot of excitement going on and hunt test aren't that intense.

I have a 2 year old lab and when we train and pass the hunt tests, which he has passed Master Hunter, he is always steady until I say his name to retrieve. This is his first year hunting in a field for waterfowl and he kennels in his dog blind great and watches ducks and geese come in. Once the bird...

Exactly what happened. 4 guys yell kill them and 12 shots later and blinds opening up...

It didn't help one of the days 2 dogs from another guy whining and once they heard shots they were gone my dog didn't have a chance as he was still in his blind.

I took my lab out for the first time duck hunting and had him lay in his blind. All the training we have done he never released until I told him, and that is even shooting next to him. In the field we had ducks landing and a few times he got excited and released when we started shooting. I would say...

Thanks for the input. He is already doing better.

I have a great lab that has his Master Title and going to work on the Grand Master Title. I was training last night in pretty hot weather and he decided to retrieve the bumper and lay down about 10 ft from me and than again once he brought the bumper to me. I told him no and he brought it right back...

I hear some trainers pronounce back with a weird slang to it.. Is that what I need to do to start with the back command?

I was wondering what level to set this collar at for a Black Lab to gove him a nick. It has Low and High with 13 levels???

Sometimes he will bring them all the way but usaully not. What do I need to do it is very frustarting because with dummies he wi...

I was feeding my 2 Springers Nutri Source Black Bag and stools were find I just couldn't pay that much for dog food. Someone told me to try Diamond Premium and that was a disaster, loose stools bad gas etc. Is there a good dog food for high energy dogs that won't cause loose stools and is en-expensi...

What Diamond food should I try?

I read all these posts and I am very confused. I have a 1 1/2 old springer spaniel and am looking for a decent dog food. What kind should I buy? I feed it the orange nutrisource now and it is way to expensive.

I have a Springer Spaniel that eats Nutrisource High Performance food and it is very expensive. He is also very skinny. What kind of food is a good inexpensive food and is it easy to change foods. Also how much should we be feeding our dog, and how many times a day.

Thanks

I sent my Springer away to get trained and FF this spring. He is a animal in the field but once a bird is down he will grab feathers a couple times before he brings it back. What should I do?
