I have had it both ways. One of my current a coverdog bred Pointer is the best behaved dog in our household and you would think her azz is on fire when she is working. I have also had the reverse the last couple of DD's I have had were complete slugs while working and complete PIA's in the house. My...

Thanks for the input. This is new to me I have never used a woah post and thought I would add it in with the rest of my training figured it could not hurt.

pointshootretrieve

For you guys that train with a woah post do you use an e-collar while on the post? Wing birds buy the dog on the post? I ask because I put my young PP on the post and after 3 easy sessions he doesn't move as soon as the hitch is around his flank and I was looking to entice him to move for a correcti...

Did that first guy say he wasn't sure about making the shot as it was " pretty thick " ? That would be a clear shot in my covers for the most part

Maybe a gundog forum library is in order??? The borrower pays shipping both ways and agrees to the lender's conditions.

pointshootretrieve

LCS is a good alternative. I just picked up one and will be buying another, I have already used it a ton and enjoy it's reliability.

Are you ready for training?

I wonder how many commands this dog has been taught

pointshootretrieve

Thanks for the explanation. Do you fear that the dog when pressured will come to heel when say commanded to WOAH? Or maybe while handling on a blind the dog allows the pressure to get the best of him and returns to your side?

Was wondering if someone could shed some light on Debolt training, it's purpose, etc.

Here is mine in North Dakota this past October with 3 crates in the bed and 6 dogs on the trailer. The plastic crates were only on the trailer for trips around town.

I am noticing a trend with the last few young dogs I have brought up here that is alarming. They are stool eaters :? My dogs are kept in Scott kennels during the day and inside at night.

Tommyboy I am glad you posted. Can you tell me what brand, type, etc transmitter receiver are being used?

I have built 3 launchers turning them from manual to remote release and they are never reliable. From not launching for one reason or another to having them all release from interference.

A lot of what you are describing IMO paints the picture of a dog that is fearful. Could the dog have been startled by the pieces of the game and fear bit ?

pointshootretrieve

Maybe but what the heck is the fun in that, I don't use a dog to bag more birds, I hunt more birds to enjoy the dogs more! Enjoying the dogs is the point. Locating dogs on point by GPS wouldn't be enjoyable for me..but each to his own. The real high point of the hunt for me is watching a dog make s...

You can't even believe what people think my Pudelpointer is. I have only had him 6 months and he has been called a chocolate Lab, German Wirehair, griffon, GSP, etc. When I tell people he is a Pudelpointer the next comment is " oh another one of them expensive designer dogs " :roll: I usually follow...

I was wondering if anyone knew if I could run a Pudelpointer in hunt tests, trials even though they don't recognize the breed?

pointshootretrieve

Neither a 28 even lighter in most cases and patterns as good or better than a 12 and better than a 20

pointshootretrieve

To " never set a dog up to fail" is greatly misunderstood. Every time you proof a dog, like steady to flush, you are setting him up for potential failure. I think that "setting a dog up for failure" means you test him on a situation that he has not been thoroughly trained on. That I never do. As fa...

Yes he is a Pudelpointer. Thanks

Buck is turning into something, the trip out West was ok for him it was the trip up north that got his wheels turning.

I'm with Gonehuntin. I run pretty much the same whistle. Again it is preference but I am not sure you need a whoa whistle. you will train the dog to hold on birds. the change directions should be one you want. Joe If you properly teach WOAH it means more than just hold on your birds, it is a comman...

One that the dog obeys

I use the Acme dual tone, 1 quick blast = WOAH, 2 quick blast = change direction, 2 blasts on the pea less end of the whistle = COME. I have never believed in a long drawn out whistle command it is like pleading IMO.

pointshootretrieve

This was Buck's first experience with snow, and I wish it could have waited it's far too early to have this kind of snow. Of course had to drag the generator out :o http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y337/sportfish20/011.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y337/sportfish20/003.jpg http://i1027....

The only reason I was thinking of the Sportdog is eliminating something to carry. If I go with the Garmin I still need to carry the TT transmitter and the GPS reciever. If I went with the sportdog it would be all in one.

Rott - In the cover dog world there is a good deal of tradition and in this part of the country, much of that tradition dictates that ruffed grouse and English setters are the ideal. The typical wining cover dog setter is on the small side, with incredible quickness, agility and foot speed. The typ...

Do you mean the Astro 320 or the sport dog gps tracker? With the Astro and DC40 collars a ecollar can be added to the gps collar strap. Its not a one system does all, you still need your ecollar transmitter to work the receiver you place on the gps collar. I see, the Sportdog does offer an all in o...

If you don't mind me asking what did the fence cost? We did this in May. Our dogs are basement dwellers when we're not home, so my husband built a "dormer" that fits over 1 side of the basement storm door, and put a dog door in it. We used cedar instead of pressure treat, and used a deck stain on th...

There is no reason you cannot throw things in play for your dog. However you MUST be disciplined enough not to use the FETCH command or use the items you intend to work with during fetch training. Tennis balls, Kongs, frisbee's, etc can be great fun for you and your dog. I can't answer your exercise...

Those stakeouts will let the dog run around in a circle acting like a fool if and when he wants.
