Gun Dog Forum

I'd say it was just an overload of being spooked - cows . Unlucky. I'd bet he didn't run back because of the shot, but because he thought the cows might show again. Go back to taking it easy with the gun and things should be fine. I wouldn't go back to that cow spot.[/quote] This would be my though ...

2 people shot, only hunt with 3. nobody shout at the single. and that is how I gun broke him while he was chasing birds. and yes a vizsla. Also, i'm trying to make sure its still fun for him and thats why i'm asking to make sure it stays fun. Ah. You didn't say that is how you gun broke him in the ...

Went out this weekend for opening weekend for Kansas. Having a good morning, not seeing to many birds but dog was working the field perfectly. Then we ran into some cows on the wiha we were at and they spooked the dog. He stopped hunting wouldn't range that far ahead was just acting differently. We ...

Well the prairie chicken opens up tomorrow in eastern Kansas and I plan on going out with my dog this weekend. I've never been and was wonder if anyone could give me any tips, what to wear when to go, where to go, what time to go, and anything else imaginable. If anyone has any good counties for wih...

What all do you have done before you take your dog for their first season? For upland trainers, do you hunt your dog on pheasant for their first season? I have heard some trainers say not to.

Thanks for the advice. I will work them separate for now.

I have a 1 year old vizsla who I have been working with. He didn't have a strong prey drive at first so I would let him chase and chase and chase birds. As he is coming around in his work I want him to be ready for the first season. He already here's pretty well and can quarter a field. He's been in...

I'm going to a perfect start kennel and am looking for advice and any tips. First how long of a check cord should I buy? Second, what functions does my e collar need to have. And any other tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I was just wondering what everyone's opinion on hunt tests are? When in the training process if at all should you take your dog to them?

Sounds good! I have heard of people using frozen birds for retrieving practice and getting used to the bird but it seems like I am just overthinking it. Thanks for all of the help!

He's already quite the retriever I'm just wanting him to get used to carrying birds in his mouth.

I'm in need of some pheasant or quail to teach my vizsla to retrieve with and I was wondering if anyone knows any goos websites to buy frozen birds off of.

Has anyone done one of these clinics? I'm just trying to get an idea of how successful they are and what can we expect of our dog afterwords. Thank you

Does anyone know any good trainers for vizslas in the kc area or somewhat close?

Hello everybody,
My vizsla and I have been doing about everything together. My next step is to introduce birds and then the gun. Does anyone have any tips on the right way to do this? thank you

Hello everybody, A few months ago I got a vizsla puppy and named him Hercules. He is now turning 7 months and the past few months I have been taking him out to fields with thick cover and creeks, socializing him, teaching him commands and just getting him adjusted to everything. The next several mon...
