Thanks for the replies. I am glad to hear that her behavior is normal. I have searched around on the web and I am having trouble finding pigeons available in my area. I live in southeast Michigan if anyone reads this and knows of a place, please let me know. I have pigeons and fat black birds in my ...

I have a 14 week old pointing puppy. She is doing great on every level. She obeys commands, she learns quick, she is retrieving well, and she searches for items on command. I am trying to figure out how to set up a scenario to get her to point. I live in an urban area currently so I don't get a lot ...

Not meaning to take over the post as I am not sure if "jgregg's" pup responds well to here/come but I feel it fits. Would anyone like to share what they do to train there dog to respond to this call? I have seen dog's that stop and return on a dime based on a whistle...that would be highly desirable.

Just wanted to say thanks again to all the folks that posted and also wanted to give an update. I have been spending 30-60 mins with her outside before we go to bed, that pretty much solved the problem of her not sleeping at night. This was obviously something we were lacking, as the more I thought ...

Thank you AzDoggin and Sharon! I should have clarified we usually let her out several times during the night to go to the bathroom. And my Wife works two days a week, so it is really only those days that we have her kenneled during the day. We have actually been pretty lucky at getting family member...

Hello All, I am new to the site. I have a 10 week old Braque Francais. We are currently working on crate training the pup. We are crating her at night and when we work. She hated the crate right off the bat noted by the almost insane screaching, I have never heard anything like it. After a few days ...
