Re: always hunting...

Hiking with the pup last weekend and she locks up on point! Wife and I kept on walking toward her and out fly 2 quail from a sage brush bush. Wife doesn't carry a gun but goes hunting with me and said she can't wait for hunting season...........

Re: Season report

35 pheasants up 11 in the freezer. First hunting dog, a GSP, just over a year old. We are having a BLAST! Oh, and about 12 quail in the freezer, too many up to count LOL!

Re: Distant shooter gunshy

My pup is 1 year old and started doing this occasionally. I have been getting her back in the game by saying find me a bird or use the come command to get her moving. Seems to be working. In time I'm hoping she figures out those distant shots don't mean anything to her.

Re: Training Plan Suggestions

I followed the Perfect Start Perfect Finish program. These videos will answer most of your questions and give you step by step instruction on how to train your pup. I'm a first time GSP owner and never trained a bird dog before. Here is a pic of my PUP at 1 year old. The program works and is well wo...

Re: swimming

Glad you had a great time. My 9 month old GSP, since it got warm, has been retrieving bumpers from the water. She paws at the top of the water while going out but it is way worse when she gets the bumper and heads back. Late yesterday afternoon I decided to take a couple of pigeons to a pond so she ...

Re: Staying outside

We were kenneling our GSP pup while at work (typical 8-5 workday). At about 5 months we put her in an outside 6 x 12 dog run and she did fine. I think your pup refuses to be outside because she knows your home and wants to be around you. Once you leave for work she should calm down. Just to make sur...

Re: Bird Intro

My GSP is almost 6 months old and it sounds like your pup has the same attitude as my pup. I have been following PS/PF to the letter and have shot a pigeon over my pup. Doesn't sound like you have a bird drive problem. As far as intro to birds, she needs to learn she can't catch the bird. Using a ch...
