I like to know what people are saying that you consider harassmen?

I just received a pup vea gundog express NY to Wi and on time. For the price I couldn't have bought the gas for half the trip.

Run the dog with beeper in point mood. Train the dog that when he's running and hears the beeper go off he is to check in with you. Don't worry about him going on point hearing the beeper and coming back to you. All my dogs would check in when I used the locate button. And hold point with the beeper...

Could you explain. I've got $ invested leather boots and always used mink oil.
Thanks,

That's one fine looking dog you got there the picture is to be hung on the wall.

From my experience once they keep their crate clean then you work on house with supervision. I've got a 3 month old that has never mest her crate. And only dribbled 3 times in the house.
Just saying.

Mike50

Hunt him by yourself.

Mike50

You get good mpg with them?? If you only get 17 mpg I'd rather have a full size pickupand twice the room. But that's just me.

Mike50

Have you taught him the kennel or crate command? All 4 of my GSP's will kennel up on command. It's their den home safe place.. Don't feel bad about crateing him. Not all places are dog friendly.

Mike50

My take on this is he learned if he makes enough noise he will be let out.
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.

Mike50

Put a rubber band around the flight feathers of one wing. Quail can't take much handling from puppy teeth.

Mike50

Great looking shorthairs reminds me of a male I had.

Mike50

I had a Pet safe and it kept the dogs in the yard. It would give a high frequency tone to let them know they were getting close the getting zapped. You wont gain any more yard because it sounds when their about 3 feet from were the wire is buried. But you can then run the wire all the way around you...

I had German Shepard I would shave. It would take 2or3 months to come back. Friend has a Springer he shaves and its about the same.

In WI we try to stay near transition areas. Were ever the terrain changes on those edges is were we find the most birds. Also they will sit in trees and watch you walk by and flush after you have past. And when your dog goes on point don't for get to look up. I've had my dogs go on point and after s...

I have 5 month old female GSP. i was wondering when i should start shooting over her. she is very birdy and will hold point to flush. should i continue to work her on birds only or is it ok to start shooting. I also have a 5 month old female GSP. I did gun intro over the summer started at 3 months ...

Can you turn the battery conservation mode off? Brad, I have used every energy saving mode on the 320 that exists. The only exception is I use the 5 second update and the only alert I use is when the dog goes on point. I can get 15 - 20 hours from the batteries except the 320 goes into "battery con...

Thank you! Anyone else own on?

If the phone rings only once and I don't hear it. How would I know someones calling??

Mike50

When your dog goes on point. How many times are you notified on your hand held? Tone or vibrate. Does it keep notifying you till you get near or is it one time notification? Then its up to you to hear it or feel that one notification. Layman's terms your phone ring once it's up to you to hear it rin...

Be careful with the E collar. I've read they can perceive the ecollar nick as a attack by the other dog and send them into a rage that only has one outcome.

Mike50

Wish my trainer would make me that offer

Mike50

On Tuesday night my little mutt flushed out a Yote, chased the Yote for a few hundred yards before I could call her off. She was running stride for stride across a plowed field with the Yote biting it in the neck and face….I couldn’t believe my eyes! Not a wolf but quite the experience for me. Gosh...

Mike50

Was this a bird that flushed wild or one that he got up?

Got a GSP female this summer at 11 Wks. she weighted 15# At 4 mos. she weights 32#

I have a Dogtra 2500 B/T. The receiver is not working. No lights come on and you can not turn it off with the transmitter . For those of you who have had this product , is a new battery needed in the receiver? I'd put it on the charger and make sure that it is plugged all the way in. I have the old...

Mike50

Sorry for the novice question............ I have herd and read that when your hunting that you should never shoot a bird without your dog pointing it first... Well how about if your dog is in-front of you hunting and you see a pheasant and she missed it altogether ...........do you call her back an...

Mike50

Please be very care full when you do have to break up a fight with your dog and another. Your dog can turn on you trew no fault of his own. It's called a reactionary bite. He could perceive you touching him as the other dog doing it and wheel around and bite your hand not the other dogs paw.

Mike50

Number one I can tolerate but number two

How many times a day is he feed? You might have to go with once a day PM that will give him 8 hrs. to get it trew his system and out before you go to work.

Mike50

If you have a big enough training area. You could just pull 5 flight feathers off each wing toss the bird a let him chase. The bird will fly 50 yds or so then land on the ground provided there are no trees around. If you time it right and you get to the bird when your pup does just take the bird and...

Mike50

The only problem I can see as a new puppy owner myself. Is how much sleep you and your other 2 dogs will get before its's time to get up. And get the most for your money this trip will cost. If your wife is fine with it I'd just leave the pup at home.

I've apple and pear trees in the backyard. All three of my GSPs eat the drops off of both. they do seem to prefer the pears Tell them if you wait for wind falls you could go hungry you should just pick your own like this one :lol: [img]http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii36/Boreba/IMGP0090.jpg[/im...

I should have said this is not my first pup I introed to birds and gun. Just that I haven't had a pup this young that was nuts about birds so soon. The others could have cared less at her age.

Mike50

At what age do you do intro to birds with a pup???????????? At what age you do intro to gun with a pup???????????? I'm talking about pigeons for bird intro and pigeons with gun for the gun intro. Reason being I've got a 10 week old pup that is absolutely nuts about the pigeons I've showed her. And I...

Take her to a trial of some sort or a NAVHDA training day. Let her see what them cute puppies turn in to. Then let her decide which breed she likes the best.

Mike50

What goes in must come out.
I cut them off water 2 hours before bedtime and plenty of chances to empty out before.

Mike50

Teaching a dog to like porcine meat just sounds wrong

Does the bonus bag come with tooth picks or what

Mike50

My avatar dog was test for it and it was positive it showed up in the blood work. It was on the front right paw.
most times it shows up on the front not sure why. It was gone in about week.

Mike50

This will sound strange but. Before you train pick up some smoke bombs. Go to were you'll be training. Light one and set it on something that won't catch fire and burn your training field down. You'll have a better idea of how the wind and humidity affects bird sent on that particular day. Things re...

Looks like a very stout little female. We approve. And like.

I am lost! What difference does it make what you use. You either put them up on something or you do it on the ground. What am I missing? Ezzy There is no difference. He's just looking for the most preferred method from the professional trainers they all get the job done. Lots of ways to skin a cat....

I respect any person that can do a job and do it well. That being said it drives me up a wall when I'm behind a school bus that is waiting for a student that is not even there. Kids still in the house getting his shoes on or what ever. Are we raising a bunch of slackers. Bend the rules a little more...

This would have went much better if. You hadn't let all these Males know you were a hot female that was very selective

I have a male GSP and for awhile it was just me and him in the house. I noticed he would hump his pet pillow more during the week when I worked than week ends when I was off and he got a good run in the field. Take a day and run the snot out of him. Then see if feels like humping. Could have alot of...
