Did you go to visit the dog and watch the trainer work him, show you his progress being made and give input or opinions on his training during the months he was there with the trainer or just leave him with the trainer and pick him up after the trainer said he was ready to go??..sorry i cant help yo...

I never really looked into the "scientific proof" of it all but im on the side with the vet..i have exercised my dogs from the moment they came home, let them jump into our van and i have alot stairs and aint carrying them up and down them..i guess like anything else its a matter of which side of th...

Ya know you guy's, I don't know if I buy the going rancid answer. My dogs drag in and eat stuff a vulture wouldn't eat! :( I have fossil's laying all mover the place they drug in the chew on. :oops: Of course there was a couple feeds over the years I couldn't get dogs to eat. After seeing what they...

Maybe the ring in the mechanism when you took it apart was put in backwards, it happened to me and i had to shoot heavy loads in order to get it to cylcle..i put it in the other way and now can shoot the lightest target loads..good luck..ruth

NA dogs are required to swim only. Retrieve to hand with a sit finish? The chapter officers should have said something. Wow, can you tell who the judges were so I don't test under them? our chapters NA test dont require retrieves either, even though no extra points were given jersey did the retriev...

GUNDOGS

the techs should have at least sent you home informed mine have always took time to go over post surgery questions ect..i would keep them quiet for a few day then slowly go back into some light activity but after about 10 days stitches come out and they should be good to go, just watch for any disch...

Just curious why this thread is in the HALL OF FAME section?????...ruth

GUNDOGS

I over exaggerated (as usual), but what I was hoping to do was "hunt" with my dog having painters tape over my mouth and whistle stapled to my shirt. :lol: That is going to be my plan out of the gate, if the judges tell me to slow down so be it, untill told otherwise I will plead ignoance. Like I s...

GUNDOGS

Im glad im reading your post after my pup did the test or id be nervous :lol: ..honestly i didnt even put much thought into it and didnt prepare jersey for it since its a natural ability test i figured either she has it or she dont :D she was 5 months old and got a prize 1 in 40 degree weather, it w...

i bought this book on the forum.. http://www.gundogsonline.com/dog-first-aid/home-veterinary-handbook.html as far as for the quills if it were my dog i would take it to the vet but thats just what I would do, i would want to make sure the vet feels around to see if theres any others in there and mak...

Went out and played with the pup and Molly. Seems like his stomach has gone down a bit. Pretty soft now compared to yesterday. Thinking he is just a fat little thing and is in need of some exercise. LOL. He does love to sleep with molly and picking up her bark too. maybe it was the food he was on, ...

Speaking of rescues, we have two female and one male one year old liver shorthairs looking for good homes. My elderly friend suffered 3 strokes and is unable to care for them any longer. We found new homes for the mom and 4 nice pups already. Anyone interested please call me at 505-319-6382 Sure ho...

GUNDOGS

my only advice is just have fun and your pup will too, all his natural abilities will get him threw all the parts of the test and it will go great

good luck...ruth

GREAT JOB, you got my adrenaline going reading about it

i can only imagine how nervous but excited you must have felt so congrats!!..ruth

GUNDOGS

tim, everyone has different methods/tools for training and its all in what you are comfortable with and what works best for you and your dog..i started using the prong collar on jersey at about your pups age because she would pull non stop on walks as if she was in a hurry to get somewhere but didnt...

...ruth

GUNDOGS

how about if you take him for on lead walks in public areas, on the sidewalks ect...use that time to teach proper behavior on lead such as heel and no pulling and definitly teach NO chasing of squirrels, cats or any other animal for that matter..i think it would be much harder to teach the pup to ha...

like i said new to the game so im looking forward to answers on this post to learn as well but i did call a friend with EP's and he wonders if your dog has gotten it in the face from a bird while on a retrieve, maybe a cripple, he said thats what will sometimes trigger ripping birds....good luck, wi...

Well im new to the game and DEFINITELY dont consider myself a "trainer".. ive been training my own GSP pup the best i can and have still alot to learn BUT theres a few things i wonder..why expecting so much from a 13 month old "pup" to be steady only after the summer, it takes constant training for ...

I'm sorry Ruth but you won't be able to go. The snow in ON will be up to your shoulders by then. :) (I have a distinct memory of taking that trip one Feb. We got to Ohio before the roads were closed and ended up spending 2 days in a "saloon" in Lima, Ohio. :roll: we usually go in march but this yea...

GUNDOGS

Ok, I just got our new pup and he is doing awesome. We did notice that his stomach is really big like he is full of gas/food. He does have bowel movements but doesn't seem to go down much. It feels a bit hard so think something is keeping him from releasing it all out. Any other explanations for th...

GUNDOGS

Thanks for clarifying greg and ray..what im wondering is how does this carry out into the field with mr.reed..if he loses a brace is it always in the back of his mind that its because of his disability or is it really because he just simply wasnt the best..if he wins do other competitors think he wo...

About the intra-nasal bordatella vaccine - it works! My dogs along with some friends' dogs were exposed to a nasty lil epidemic of kennel cough. All the dogs which were given the injectable boradtella vaccine got sick, but my dogs, which had the nasal vaccine, came out entirely unscathed. Recently ...
