Re: Ecollar buying help/questions...

I was cautious about buying a Sport Dog Beep / ECollar . I wanted all the features it had. I havent had any issues with it as its worked flawlessly. I think most of what you read is from years ago when they first started up. I did get me some rubber caps to put over the beeper with different size wh...

Book recommendation for GSP

You might check into clicker training as I have trained dogs for years and used some clicker training on my last two pups and it seems to speed things up. I kind of like it.
Check out all the Willow creek YouTube videos as he has several on clicker training.

Re: GSP Weight and Stool

We have had good luck with Purina Proplan Sensitive Skin and Stomach Salmon forumula.
Make sure your not feeding too much. We feed our 50 pound female around 1.5 cups twice a day.
You might worm your dog, loose stools are caused by worms. Panacur for 5 days straight should do the trick.

Re: What gun dogs do you have and why?

I have had several breeds of Pointing Gun Dogs.
GSP's have an amazing off switch but like most breeds make sure you research the bloodline.
My dogs are bird hunting machines in the field but get indoors and are calm lap dogs.

Re: Puppy peeing in crate

I put a wire wall in our crate to make the crate just big enough to lie down in and it worked for peeing.
Pups will have accidents but long periods of time is hard on a pup to not pee , the seem to get better
after getting around 6 to 7 months old. Dogs mature at different rates.
