Missed Tick :(

I knew it was this time of year. Today when giving a bath I noticed a tick on our 5year old Brittnay. Must of been right under the collar and I had missed it. We play with her, walk her, sit on the floor in the living room w/ her, rub her tummy, scratch her ears, and love on her all the time. I'm no...

Re: Ride'n the truck/car...

Thanks for all who shared their thoughts. As for me our little "new addition" is in her crate when traveling, short or long distance. Just the choice i've made for this time.

Ride'n the truck/car...

So with my first dog she would jump up in the back of my pick up and ride with me everywhere. Esp. loved the fact she would ride in the jon boat with me when fishing. This was before my hunting days. I see dogs ridding in cars all the time sitting in the front seat next to their owners. Right now, I...

Re: New 2 Trainning - Advice on Collar's

Thanks wes_gps for the offer. Once the weather breaks I may take you up on your offer and head west. Right now I'm continuing to spend time with this Dog and she is really responding well for only having her for about four weeks. My first goal is to gain her trust and have the opportunity to take he...

Re: New 2 Trainning - Advice on Collar's

She had a little training early on and was in the field hunting early on. However, the PO explained to me she has not been in the field in over two years and has had little training over the past few years. It also has been that long since she has been shot over. She came with a generic two piece co...

New 2 Trainning - Advice on Collar's

I've got a new dog to our home, 5 year old Brittany female. She knows her basic commands (sit, wait, heel, come) I walk with her at least 2x a day a few miles. I've done some reading and i'm curious about a training collar. Some say NO two pieces hooked together w/ a ring. I was also told that the t...

SE Minnesota - Hello

I've had a love for having a dog for most of my life. I've had two before my current 5year old Brittney, a Lab/shepherd mix and a Chessie. Raise the two before the Brittney from pups, but because of life transitions had to let them go. Both "new owners" said those were the best dogs they ever owned....
