Welcome Gordon Setter Hunters!

Cool, welcome to the forum, and I added the Gordon Setter for you....

Hard on furniture indeed!

WR,
I have a pair of fighting dogs, Do you think your method could break them up? See the video of the fighting here:

Only kidding =)

Thanks WR!

grousehunter,

You're being serious, right? I say this, because some trainers do put the collar on the dogs waist....

I got my Dogtra 1100 on ebay. Wow, I think the e-collar is a great tool when used properly. I've used them before, but this is the first one I've owned. I just feel like it can be over used by the trainer. I didn't want to start training with it on the dogs without putting it on me first, so I put i...

I did the poop in the hole thing, and it worked like a charm =)

Thanks, Here is some other info I found online: Female dogs (correctly called bitches) have 3, 4 or 5 pairs of breasts (mammary glands ) placed in two rows running up the sides of their abdomen from the groin to the chest for nursing puppies. The number varies and one side can have one or two more t...

After Bells first heat, her breasts/nipples, or whatever you call them on dogs, are getting bigger.:shock: Is this typical, or could she be pregnant?

Grant

I worked a bit with Bell and Carl this morning. It’s been about two months or so since the dogs have been on birds, so they wanted to creep in on the bird. I had an automatic bird launcher setup, so when the dogs crept in on the bird, I flushed it; then they were more careful from then on. Below is ...

You will not be disappointed! These tape have a TON of good content. I have other tapes that I watched about twice, but I watch perfect start and finish tapes over and over, because they are loaded with tons of training info. I re watch the tapes to pick-up on little parts that I have missed before....

I got mine from dogsafield.com

I got my trap today, but UPS smashed it...... :shock:

They are sending me a new one =)

I've got a trap ordered, and I've talked to a hardware shop here in cartersville about trapping in their barns. I'm going to trap them for training. If I get enough, you can have some =)

Grant

B-dawg,

You should be able to upload your pics to the Album section of the forum...

Does anyone have any lessons learned they want to share. Here is one of mine. Ok, no making fun here, as I was extremely new to training when this happened. I was working Bell on some birds and she was wanting to creep on the birds. I was loosing patience, so I bumped her with the e-collar. BAD IDEA...

T2, I just started training last year, but I've done lots of training within that time. Anyway, I just wanted to give you my $.02. For the most part, you will find that most everyone you talk to has their own training methods. I just watched tapes and talked to folks to see what worked for them. I h...

I'm Grant. I live in N. Ga with my two dogs Bell and Carl. I'm getting married on June 12, 2004 to Lindsay, and I'm excited about that.! =) She is an awesome chick! I spend too much time on the Internet, as you can already tell. I started bird hunting last year and really like it. Lindsay got me a G...

Thanks, Sadly enough, it didn't come naturally. It took some work!

Can your dog dance like this?

I couldn't go to sleep yet, so I needed to kill some time. ....

I don't really like the underground fences. The first one I had got hit by lightning and about caught my home on fire. The second fence worked fine for a while, but my dog figured out that he could run through it. I also tried the wireless e-fence, but the range was no good. Finally, I just built a ...

I've seen both these series, and they ROCK big time. Here is a link to their site. They are more expensive than most tapes. I bought other tapes then got the perfection kennels DVDs. I wish I would have gotten the Perfection Kennels series first....

Griff,

Do you have more info on this?

Its hard to say for me. I'm thinking I like the females better. This could be just because Bell is a female, and she is the best dog I've had...

Not yet, you may want to check with "snips" aka Brenda on this forum. They are in GA and do training. I just went to one of their seminars...

grant

I'll add the WHV =)

Cool! Thats a good idea!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep my dogs from digging up the yard?

Yep, you can bring you dog and hunt. They have more info on their site...

Hi Tommy, I'm in Cartersville, GA. I just started with my GSP pups last year! I'm going to look into joining the GSP club of atlanta. You might want to look at that also. We just had a training seminar from Rick and Brenda in N. GA last weekend. It was really good. See more of them at http://www.wal...

I don't know of any books, but this is a great video! http://www.gundogsupply.com/perstarbirdo.html It covers: # Understand how your dog learns # Teaching here, heel and whoa # Evaluation of your dog's natural abilities # Why your dog does the things he does and how this effects training # Introduct...

There was a great turnout at the Brenda Roe and Rick Hopkins training seminar. It was really cool to get face to face with the pros and interact in actual training sessions. The morning started with raffling off merchandise and got right into training! Some of the material covered was teaching whoa,...

Welcome! I'm sure you will find lots of good info here!

Grant

I need to do something for my crew before it gets to hot. I like the pool idea...

I'm working on a new template, you can check it out in you profile. Its called "Under Construction"

Grant

Good thoughts terryg, Thanks!

Nice plan raven!

That makes sense to me

Yep

Cool! Thanks!

I don’t have the cash to go get e-collars at this moment, so I’m training without them. I've used the plantations from time to time. It DEFFINATLY takes more patience FOR ME when training without the e-collar. It drives me CRAZY if I say come and a dog stops and looks at me, knows he’s suppose to co...

I talked to a farm supply around my house, and they are fine with me trapping their pigeons. I'm going to get a trap and start catching them. Hope fully this will workout fine and carl and bell will never have to see a frozen quail again! =)

I've been working with my dogs, and they are really doing well with Sit, Come, Whoa, Heel, Fetch, and most of the time are steady to wind and shot, but are NOT totally broke yet, they sometimes will let there desire to fetch take over and will break for the dead bird right before I give the tap on t...

Is there a standard set of commands that most everyone uses to communicate with their dogs? I'm not asking for the BEST command for fetch or something, I'm just curious as to what everyone else uses... What commands do you use? I use Whoa for Whoa Heel for Heel Whistle for come Tap on head for fetch...

Ok, Bell went into heat on Apr14/15, or around then. Should it be okay now for Her anc Carl to begin playing again? Todays date is Apr. 29th and her swelling is going down...

Terryg, who is making excuses, and who used the word accident? Are you just giving an example?
