Thanks for the help.

My ES Zeke is now seven months old, we have been in the woods all summer he has tons of hunt, good range, and has found what I think to be alot of grouse and woodcock this summer. He will flash point, but will not hold point. My question is if i hunt him this fall should I shoot birds that he flushe...

Had Zeke my 7 month old ES out this past Sunday and Monday. He is still chasing and having all kinds of fun, bumped 4 woodcock over the two days. While running on Monday his bell went silent, I thought he was maybe pointing a bird, but when I got to him he was eating blackberries off the bush one by...

How many of you guys use an e-collar on the flank for reenforcing the whoa command?

I have been using a combination of the George Hickox and Sherry Ray Ebert methods of training. Since this is the first pointing dog that I have trained ( started with one then got orders to go to Iraq and had to sell him back to the breeder) I just want to make sure that I do not do anything to mess...

I got to the point that he was about 85% when I said the command. Then I overlayed the command with the e-c...

I think I will hold off with the collar on the flank for reenforcing whoa until the d...

I have a six month old male ES that I am working on whoa with. I can stop him on the ground at heel with just a little pressure from a slip lead around his flank. When I try to go to the e-collar on the flank he freaks out tries to bite the collar, falls on the ground and rolls around like a gut sho...

The pup will be coming from Warriors Mark http://www.warriorsmark.com/es_pups.htm

I am going to ask the breeders if I can bring my crate early and see if they will let me put it in the kennel with the pups and dame. They have a very nice kennel with plenty of space should be no problem.

The crate it is. Thanks

I am getting a new ES puppy this spring, should I use crate for the trip home or not? I don't want his introduction to the crate to be an unpleasent one. He will be an inside dog and crate trained, It is close to a two hour trip and if he become motion sick on the trip could this cuase him to later ...

What a nice looking dog, what line is he out of?

Does anyone use the Lion Country Supply's e-collar? If so, what do you like or dislike about it, how does it compare to other collars. I am thinking about getting one and would like to hear what others think about this e-collar.
