I purchased the sportdog bark collar with 6 levels of stim, that increase automatically as the dog continues to bark, well i got to use it today for the first time. With Hope in her the Kennel, i latched onto the other one and headed out for a walk. Well i then hear the most blood curdling yelping a...

This is subatomicstang's wife. All of the above things (popping her, ignoring her, working her, putting her in her crate, not feeding, giving praise to good behavior) ALL of these things are done constantly and it has made no effect on her. I have to work with the dogs the most because I am home wit...

subatomicstang

Everytime she seems to quiet down, i head outside, and she starts right away! Im lost! I guess she will get it eventually?

subatomicstang

Live update. She is in the Kennel barking and bouncing off the walls and doing 360's and i refuse to let her out or feed her til she calms down. Once the younger did his normal sit quietly and wait at the gate i let him out and fed him. WOndering how long she can go at this.

subatomicstang

I definetely will assume this responsibility! I dont nearly work on her one on one enough. And i never even thought of putting her up inside in her crate. I just feel like she should learn to be at least somewhat quiet in the kennel like he is, when im working with her. I can definetely see that she...

They both sleep inside in their own crates. They only get free roam of the house transitting to their Room and outside. They are fed out on the back patio seperately. That is where one of her annoying habbits lays. She gets so wound up whil the food is being readied. She does donuts whines and bounc...

Quick back ground I have 2 GSP's 1 we got 1.5 year ago as a pup, and 1 we got a year ago from a Rescue. She was estimated to be 1.5 years of age when we got her. The decision we made to bring this rescued GSP in is starting to haunt me. I had the idea that my pup needed a mate of sorts to play, and ...

subatomicstang

The younger of the two is a Male "Toby" and the older one is a female "Hope" we got her a little less than a year ago from rescue. She is obviously the more mature one. she doesnt have a natural retrieval going for her but she is really willing to please her handler. She is more my wifes dog, and he...

I got totally off my thought process on this post. I titled it shooting over dog? But i forgot to ask that question. Does it do any good to take your more novice dog even if theyre not STW and down the bird and let them retrieve? Will that teach them bad habbits? Or should i not wait til they are a ...

I have 2 dogs. 1 year 7 months on the youngest and about 2.5 years old on the second one. Both dogs while they havnt gotten their JH titles my youngest has 1 or 2 of his qualifying runs. Anyways they both find birds, and will get on point and wait for us to flush the birds most of the time. Sometime...

subatomicstang

Our horses ar very tolerant of the dogs. But when the horse start running the dogs have a tendency to run and bark at them well thats when our youngest horse shows them whos boss and starts chasing them! and at that point the dogs are tail tucked and hawln tail!

I have a small pond at home. At 8 weeks i went in and called and got my pup all excited to come to me and just kinda started by holding him with me. Then few minutes later let him swim to my wife and did it back and forth. It must have worked because at 8 months old he goes into the pond and just sw...

subatomicstang

They dont have the control to hold it for more than 20 minutes at that age.. something you deal with. WHen my guy was that young he did his best but he still had accidents you could always tell he didnt want to but if you didnt get him from the crate to the yard in time peepee time!

subatomicstang

AGHHH HAH It appears that my much prettier counterpart has beat me to the gundog forums!!!!! After i saw you post on your horse forums i immediately saved the pics to bring them over to these boards! Well i guess you saved me some time! Great pics i miss being there with you and the animammals! -Randy

subatomicstang

I think that's the missing piece to the puzzle , if it started when she arrived. Now that we know it has to do with wanting to assert some dominance, not a housebreaking problem. This is important to know before you can figure out what to do. This is an interesting article.( I won't get into the ne...

the gun is tapped four small holes i believe i saw. I didnt get the cantilevered model i hear those tend to be lose. Ive never owned a shotgun this is the only gun i have right now been a long time for me. Im going to use it for upland,skeet, turkey, and duck. Then later one get the rifled barrel an...

subatomicstang

Yes i think he is a fast bloomer! Hopeing he is nearly fully grown already as he sits at 55 lbs and makes alot of males older than him look small. And as far as the other dog goes he hasnt done it before she came so...? She is very dominate they play hard and rough! she is alot more agressive than h...

subatomicstang

He's either on a leash attached to your belt or he is in the crate. You need to break the pattern. Watch him. Is he getting outside often enough to pee? I have a setter who must get out every 40 minutes or.............Nothing physically wrong with her - always been like that. The Jack Russell can l...

subatomicstang

GEEZ! He NEVER ONCE said anything about not being able to hadle the dog peeing inside, or regretting it for that matter! He simply stated the problem and wanted to know how to help end the problem. Don't crticize about having an inside hunting dog and not being able to handle it and get a schnauzer...

our GSP pup has started lifting his leg in the house in the same areas a couple times. He just started lifting his leg outside maybe 2 weeks ago. Needless to say i will have him in the vet to have his 6 month testicals taken care of hope it helps somewhat. Just looking for some advice from anyone wh...

I can say the bigger the truck the better! But my wife uses a 2004 f150 (newer body style) to haul a 3 horse slant load trailer gooseneck. And loaded with horses that 5.4 litre engine and just lowsy 355 gears dont miss a beat! You dont need a 3/4 ton diesel or anything unless your hauling everyday! ...

I just purchased this shotgun It came with 28 inch barrel a choke set, 24 inch barrel with a red dot scope on it and a turkey choke its cammo and i am gonna purchase a rifled barrel with a scope for shooting slugs! Seems like a great all around gun it will shoot 3.5 also if i ever feel i need it! An...

I just purchased a TT 70 exp its easy to use has 6 constant level of stimulation if i want anything other than constant i just tap tap tap it. ITs pretty basic so far. I paid 279.00 for it brans new at gander they had that model marked down from 320.00 so i couldnt pass it up.

We have 2 GSPs and 5 Cats. The older of the dogs points the cats but only the one cat that hides. The others that dont seem to run or hide she just sniffs them and they will sniff back or back them up.

subatomicstang

That sounds like a good home protector! My gsp is 55 lbs at 6 months and a week i hope he doesnt become 80 ouch!

What kind of dog is she? How big will she get?

I am currently working on my first pointing dog. I feel there are many ways to help your dog hold point through flush. With a young dog I like the idea of getting the dog on lots and lots of wild birds. I really like to run my dog after hunting season is over and have her hold for long periods of t...

subatomicstang

I raise racing homers myself. Older birds you buy from someone else more than likely will no home to your coop and it's usually a pretty sure thing you will loose them if they were trained to others loft. You need to get or breed and raise squeakers and start letting them out when they are about 5-...

EDIT: This is LoveMyGSPs btw, apparently my husband logged in after me and I didnt notice! :lol: Just a quick update: The female we just adopted (1.5 yrs old GSP) has a STRONG prey drive and no matter the correction, she will not leave the cats alone. The big male cat we have, weighing in around 20l...

Well we ended up with the TT 70 g2 exp it was marked from 319.00 to 279.00 so i couldnt pass it up its simple in function 6 levels of constant stimulation. We got it home and on the dog and starting at the smallest level to see which makes him react just the slightest bit, and well after he yelped a...

subatomicstang

This is a bit off topic, but I couldn't help but notice. The hunt tests I have been to looked NOTHING like that (background) Looks like Toby had some nice grass to lay on, here in Utah it seems like you stake teh dog out on dirt, then run them in teh sage brush. That's really neat for Toby, and bot...

subatomicstang

haha I think we are already addicted! We loved it either way and its nice to have something we both really seem to enjoy together although I can see there may be a fight on who gets to handle the dog lol. At least we have a 2nd now.

subatomicstang

All I can say is follow the video - I followed it step by step and it worked like a dream. I tend to do everything about double the time that they do but that is because my pup is young and has plenty of time to get ready for next season. Overlay the e-collar with the check cord, then loose check c...

subatomicstang

So far he uses the constant stimulation at the same time as the command and stops the stimulation as soon as the dog starts obeying. He teaches the command verbally with food or a check cord, right? If not, that seems really odd to me; especially with the gaining popularity of this DVD set. The bes...

subatomicstang

Right now i would like to use it with come, and whoa. I really cant think of any reason i would use it other than to reel them in if they are under chase and wont come back or whoaing in case of danger? I just think there are alot of features that may not be used. How ilaberate does the collar train...

So far he uses the constant stimulation at the same time as the command and stops the stimulation as soon as the dog starts obeying. If thats all you do to rei...

WOW ! i would be heartbroken if i ever lost my dog! Maybe this isnt the sport for me. If you're going to let the chance of a lost dog stop you from hunting, you may be in the wrong sport. Hunting with dogs is dangerous. They can run away, chase unwanted game and get lost, get hit by cars, where we ...
