Utah Training/boarding suggestion

Does anyone have a suggestion for pointer training in the SLC greater area? New to the area and have a 3 y/o GSP that I would like to get to a trainer for a month.

Thanks

Luke is now 16 months old. Last season we took him out "hunting" to the preserve and to the trainers for "good times". But not till yesterday had he ever held a point long enough for me to move in front of him. He loves the fetch and can only think about getting the bird in his mouth. Yesterday he h...

Re: Barking in crate

Ended up getting a sportdog bark collar from gundogsupply.com, works like a freekin charm. Not a peep out of him, seems calmer, and sleeps while away. I chose the sportdog because of the multiple settings. Its progressive but then goes back to "0" after 30 sec

What does he do if you crate him when your in the house with him.?
6 hrs straight is not to long for a 1 year old.
Doesnt get let out, nobody is home. When we are home and he is in the crate he just sleeps, no barking

Re: Barking in crate

Did I understand that you keep your dog in a crate for 6 hours per day several days a week or is it 2 hours per day several days a week. I hope you ar enot crating your dog for 6 hours as that in my mind is high inappropriate. Why not give him to someone who can properly care for the dog? Say what?...

Barking in crate

My pup Luke is 1 year old today. He is in his crate 3 days a week for 6 hours total although the wife does come home around hour 4. These days are mostly fine. But its when there are "off" times when he barks and whines the whole time. Like last night when we had to go to a birthday dinner the neigh...

Re: Pulling sports and the hunting dog

It's not much different than roading. Possibly might want to modify the "whoa" command in bike/skijoring - whoa means to slow down and eventually stop, and in hunting to stop right now. Maybe use "sllllllowwwwwwwwwwwww" and "whoa" as the slow down and halt commands. Check out these GSP's in Alaska:...
