Gun Dog Forum

Thankyou I have visited a few sites to buy the DVD and found one that posts to Australia.

There are no Professional dog Trainers in Melbourne were I live. Gundog training and hunting is only a very small group of people not many do it anymore it hard to even find good dogs.

What is the best method of force fetch. I have the delmar smith DVD but it seems a bit complicated and it was done a while ago is there any other options or have the smith's done an update I also have the perfect start/finish but there is no ff.

Hi all, I have been out twice this season in Australia. My 3yo male GSP was working a bit rusty the first time out but doing most things right. At the end of the day he retrived a quial and ate it he did not come back when called just ran further away. He was ok thru the day but got worst at the end...

Can't work out how to work with the come or here command and incorporate the electric collar. I did not get training DVD with my collar and cannot get anything in Australia a few hints to get started.

Just a quick note to know some of your experiences. Do you build a better bond with your dog if he or she live inside with the family or outside in a kennel ????????????????

Hi all, I am thinking of purchasing the Mike Lardy DVD “e-collar conditioning” and the “retrieving DVD”.

The Dogtra 3500 ncp seems good value the tri tronics seem much more expensive. Should I be ok spending the extra getting top of the range Dogtra 3500 or settle for middle range TT same price also could not find TT 200 @ special price

Thank you all, it looks like Tri Tronics is the one I just hope they ship to Australia. I must say I use this forum as my bible for training and my dog is coming along very well I plan to enter him his first retrieving trail soon and am sure for what I have seen I will be very competitive. So I will...

Hi my name is Angelo I am from Australia. I was wanting to buy an e collar as the ban in Australia has now been lifted (cruelty issue's).
