Gun Dog Forum

I have a 3 year old female GSP that I trained myself (didn't require a whole lot of work, she did most of it naturally) she's a bird finding machine, handles them great, listens to commands etc., she's also a very calm, laid back dog. The only problem I'm having is she doesn't range out very far, sh...

Wish this was closer to Texas!

I get both and I like the Pointing Dog Journal better, it seems a lot more personal to me. I like the stories they put in it as well. GunDogMag is a good magazine but seems to generic I guess?

That's ridiculous! I was wondering why realtree never came on anymore...

What would cause him to fear this one dog, who has never tried to start anything or bully him?

I have the 2 dog system and I love it, comes with a beeper and has several different beeps to use. I've been very impressed with it. The batteries seem to last long, just an all around good buy.

I'm positive that he is acting on pure fear. I tried the hanging him up method. It worked pretty good, the only problem is he just gets more scared. He's a good dog that just needs more exposure to the world. I have taken him to field trials just to watch other dogs and see how it all works and he w...

Well we hunted today and they got into it again. The cause of this is, for whatever reason, it seems that my dog is fearful or insecure when the other dog is around. He wants him no where near him. When he first saw the other dog today he ran towards me and reared up on me. The other dog just walked...

The only time either of these dogs fight, is with each other. Both are out of great bloodline, good hunters etc. They're great dogs but for whatever reason they don't seem to agree with each other. They've never shown any aggression towards another creature other than each other. I don't know wheth...

Yes, it is on neutral territory. My dog has a pretty timid demeanor, neither is a naturally aggressive dog. They've both instigated the fights and neither fights with any other dog. And when an older male is around, they act fine. I'm confused by it all. Neither dog will be getting neutered.

My buddy and I both have young male GSP's, both are around 18 months old, and whenever there isn't an older male dog around all they do is fight. Whether we are in the field hunting or at a field trial etc. It doesn't matter, they always get into it. Any advice on how to get these 2 to get along so ...

Great contest and congrats to the winner!

Sign me up! Thanks guys!

Clearly your dog is saying "hey, how bout we put a shock collar on YOU and everytime YOU miss I shock YOU?!?" I know I'd be in trouble if me and my dog did that

I went and hunted Cottle Co. for 3 days 2 weeks ago, we found 3 coveys. Places that have always held coveys came up empty. Very hard hunting and the vegatation is very high which is great for the birds but not for the dogs. It was also 75 degrees all weekend which was a killer.
