Gun Dog Forum

I’ve known I was in deep water months ago and have been struggling to punch my way out of a paper bag.

I’m tracking on all the knowledgeable information and advice that is being provided but on the same note respectfully, I’m getting an overload to my brain. If someone is up to or willing for a phone to phone conversation I would really appreciate it. I’m available all day long. Thanks.

cjhills: My apologies. Set aside from the valuable information you've provided, the reason my methods were applied was because I was informed by trainers and others alike in this forum from reading replies on posts, that these were correct methods. I thought you were suppose to do longer intervals o...

I’m located in Kansas. I have not tried a half hitch on flank for I do not know what that is and isn’t a pinch collar used for on a whoooah post or heeling?

I'm a male and 30 years old. I'm a Veteran who has a lot of time on his hands so I figured getting a GSP would keep me busy. Boy I was right. I've never been hunting but have shot plenty of times. I aspire to hunt pheasants, prairie chickens and pretty much anything else. My pup is 7 months old and ...

I’ve been searching on this forum and elsewhere for answers to some questions I have. I’ve yet to answer them all so what better place to ask them then here.

Thank y’all for all your posts. Happy Time to all y’all.

Well folks, if this forum layout had the ability to notify you somehow, without having to religiously check it, I would’ve saved a 8 hr trip there and back to the breeder. I was 45 minutes away before I had the bright idea to check the post a second time and I got all your responses. This response i...

My wife and I have decided to get another GSP. The one I have is currently 7 months old, is pretty much spun up to where it’s just consistency in daily livelihood, training and letting him be a puppy. The only thing is I’m going to stake him out to because he’s not grasping pulling on the lead. He i...

Folks, I am greatly appreciative and sorry for not responding to your post replies. I though responses would've been notified through my email and weren't. I've struggled navigating through this forum and have somewhat figured it out. I'd like to again thank each individual person for their response...

I have a 5 month old GSP who I was originally training to be a service up until a month ago. During the time from 2 months until 4 months, loose leash walking was fine then it progressed from a 20 minute straight walk to 1hr and 10 mins. I'm guessing his energy level increased. He also stopped playi...
