My buddy says he was doing this last season and he sent him back to the trainer and he came back this spring “cured”. But he’s back to the same old antics now. I want to hear what you guys and gals think might be the cure. My suggestion is either a different trainer or he can "DIY" with Julie Knuts...

Re: Rabies vaccination

As always, i could be wrong, but i have never seen a rabies vaccine with a 5 yr duration of immunity on the label. And what the label says doesn't match current science (look up "Rabies Challenge". This research has shown that a rabies vaccination is good for at least 5 years and probably much long...

Re: New Labrador Retriever Puppy - Where to start gun traning?

. What you should do is order the Smart Fetch total program form Evan Graham, it's the most thorough program out there for retrievers. Get the program and follow it before you make some major mistakes with the pup. Hopefully you spent a bunch of money on him and got him from a top kennel. Actually,...

Speaking of Mile Posts

Speaking of mile posts, Idaho is replacing all mile marker 420 signs with 419.9 signs.
This is due to the 420 signs being stolen.
This is an honest post, not a joke.

Re: Stormy to the vet.

Foxtail and Cheat Grass awns are notorious for doing that.
They both burrow.
As much as possible, I keep our dogs out of those areas, but if I'm in doubt, a quick exam from the Vet is cheap insurance.

Once the dog is "imprinted" with birds, then it's time to quit and go to bumpers and/or paint rollers.

Re: Preventing hard mouth

For puppies, you should only use birds for initial imprinting..... Then go to bumpers and / or paint rollers and don't get back into birds until the end of Force Fetch.
