take it to the vet when she is at work and then come home put the dog in is pen, and let her find it. Nature took its course, she is none the wiser. Make sure you pay in cash at the vet though, you dont want a paper trail.

wish that was my grandma.

I will start off by saying that I have never had to deal with this issue. I wonder if putting the childs hand in your hand and reaching into the bowl would effect how the dog was reacting? Maybe, he does not see the child as a superior and more as an equal. I would think that if you showed the dog t...

Toyo MT's I have them on my Duramax and i love them. They are a little loud on the freeway, so maybe you should use AT's.

We usually offer up manual labor to older farmers in Easter Wa. We go over and help him do the up keep on his tractors or bale hay for a week during the summer, and then we have permission all year. And when we go over we have all the women folk bake him a bunch of cookies since he lives by himself ...

when my dog was a pup we put his collar on him for training so that he would get used to it. I only ever shocked him a few times and everytime it was for him stepping onto the road. This year we will be reinforcing "come" with the collar, even though he comes everytime sometimes he hesitates. My oth...

i say its about time to give that pup a beating that it will never forget. Pup is rowdy and out of control, beat its a$$. If it tries to fight back, beat it harder. Rinse and repeat. I had a airedale collie mutt growing up that my old man had to beat with a 2x4, but the dog learned very young who wa...

both my dogs have slept in their kennels every night since they have been home, the only exception to this rule is hunting trips they get to sleep where ever their heads land.

The pup will yelp if playing starts getting to rough for him. Usually though it is the older dogs that yelp first.

Im telling you the wire works, you might have to bait the poor little guy into touching the wire but after that he will remember for the rest of his life what happened. My yellow lab in my avatar use to live at my parents house on five acres and all they did was run a single wire around their proper...

I have a 4 foot fence and once the pup was six months we ran a hotwire around the fence about a foot off the ground, after a while you just shut it off.

deke

Do you have another dog? if you do try the old monkey see monkey do approach. put older dog in his kennel and give him a treat , make sure pup see's. and then have pup get in the kennel and give him a treat. dont shut the door for a while though.

deke

The first night with my pup was horrible, he cried all night, not a normal cry, a devil cry we should of shipped him back the next morning. but it got better and within a week he was sleeping all night.

deke

In SD we hunted from opening until around one, went back to the hotel got the dogs some chicken noodle soup and made our food. Then back out to another spot, or maybe some ditch hunting if the dogs looked rough. Around home it really depends on how much fun we had the night before.

If the dog aint staunch thats an automatic dq.

Meat dog to me means a dog that puts up the most birds in the group, while the other guys dogs (usually more expensive, with a better pedigree) chase tweety birds around the field.

deke

We put our old dog down in the basement with his kennel and a bunch of stuff piled on and around the kennel, and turn on a radio so that it drowns out the sound of the fire crackers.

deke

I think something on how to cool off a dog that has been running all day would be helpful to alot of people. I was shocked how fast you can cool off a dog if you just know how to do it properly. Also, Barbed wire cuts would be a good subject. Along with puncture wounds.

Ghosted: best pheasant dog i have ever seen was a one eyed chessie that tipped the scale at well over 150 lbs. Dog flat had a nose on him.

deke

Thank you guys for all the replies. I sure like the looks of Dez, if your are going to breed him i would sure like to be put on the shortlist. As long as it is after hunting season.

deke

dirtysteve: I really like the look of shady, but I am looking for a pup after hunting season this year, around the end of November.

Are Thunderhead, and Konig kennels one in the same, I see they have the same studs, and links to eachothers pages.

Looking for recommendations of where i can get my hands on a solid liver gsp pup. Looking for a good hunting pedigree, all the ones i can find on google seem to be show pedigree. Pup can have some roan but mostly solid liver. Need a good breeder who has pups like this. Any recommendations would be v...

This is very simple, MAKE MORE THAN YOU SPEND, quit whinning about not wanting to be stuck in a 9 to 5 job, and how much you owe in College loans, I would go $35,000 in debt right now to go party for four years.

I graduated highschool in 07, did less than 10 hrs of homework all four years combined, and had 112 absent days. I worked two jobs, and hated school,I did enough to pass school and go to work. I never wanted to go to college, never wanted to sit behind a desk and earn a paycheck my whole life. I lik...

My first dog was a girl, and she was really moody, if you punished her she was done hunting for the day. So my next dog i got was a male, he is a big bone head, really hard headed dog. So my next dog i just took what the breeder gave me, turned out to be a male. He is really moody like my first fema...

This is all very good information Dac. The biggest thing i have found with teaching a dog who is the boss is to flip them over onto their backs, you are putting them into a submissive posistion.

bass fishing.

im getting 26 mpg in my duramax on average.

deke

it makes my dogs fart. besides that i am feeding less than i was with nutro, and his coat is better.

deke

thats what you get for driving a toyota.

deke

Its not a joke my dogs come when called, without question and without fail.

deke

Depends on how old the pup is? 8 weeks i use treats, and alot of praise if he comes. 6 months, If i have to chase him he better run till i can no longer find him cause he is getting a beatin when i do. A e collar on high works pretty well also, reinforces that when called the pup better be running b...

deke

I think alot has to do with how the dog was taught. I have one lab that will hunt hard cover strictly, because that is what he was taught to hunt. My new lab, who is a pointing lab, went to a trainer for a few months and when he came back we tried to get him to hunt heavy cover and he could not figu...

We do alot of pheasant hunting in the early season up around lake terrel, and over on the east side. We usually wait for duck hunting until halfway through the season, and we hunt all cut corn fields, maybe some open water everyonce in a while if we get bored.

Where do you live in WA, I am up in Bellingham. I could tell you exactly where some spots are if you are up this way?

When my pup was young he was attacked by a boxer at a state park, from that day forward he learned that other dogs are not always friendly and he should not just run up in there space. I think it is very important for a pup to learn early on that he is not the biggest baddest dog walking the face of...

my black lab does the same thing and he is the same age, i solved the problem by having him sit in the blind with his head out the door, and i put my foot next to him. for some reason if you are touching them they wont move. and now he will just sit in the blind looking out for ducks. Also, throw a ...

Im ready to go, this will be the pups second year and it should be a dandy if he can remember what he learned last year.

deke

bailey, yes that is the dew drop inn, good eyes. That was the second day that we were in sd, we didnt shoot any birds the first day because the dogs were running wild, but they calmed down the second day. I guess a 24 hr car ride will do that to them though. We hunted lake louise, and two of the bir...

I dont know about the chocolate and caffine, my dog used to drink iced mochas whenever someone set one down. and he lived for a long time, till he decided it was fun to play chicken with a car. I regularly feed my dog snickers when we are out hunting to give them a little more energy.

deke

We went for the first time to miller sd, hunted all public land and shot our limits most days. The best advice i can give you for sd is hunt small pieces of public land north of miller. Most guys wont go hunt them because they are to small so you wont see many hunters and the birds are not so jumpy....

deke

Possum,

That is why you never empty reciets out of your wallet, and always wear two pairs of socks.

deke

Snakes never even crossed my mind, generally we hunt in western washington where there is no poisoness snakes, this year we will be in eastern where there is rattle snakes. good tip. Para cord is a good idea also.

deke

What do you use the benadryl for? I read that you are not supposed to give that to someone on a really hot day because it messes with your body being able to regulate its heat, I would take a guess and say that it works that way with dogs too?

deke

So this year i am revamping my first aid kit after talking to my vet. I will keep everything that he tells me in a tackle box in the truck, but was wondering what you guys take out into the field with you? Last year i just brought pliers and a roll of vet wrap. We hunt close to town and vets so i fi...

Sharon, we already have to put the underwear on the top shelf of our closet.

put some bag balm on them last night and then put socks on him. he actually seems to like the socks, but still wont leave his bed. any suggestions to toughin up his pads so that we can avoid this in the future.

deke

birddogger, we had to carry bb guns too. We all got to hunt when we turned twelve, they didnt tell us that though. Kept me out of alot of trouble growing up hunting. The first thing that i would lose if i got in trouble was my shotgun.

My dog ripped up the pads of his feet yesterday running around my parents pool on rough concrete. Is their anything we should be doing while his feet are tender. I know he is in some amount of pain because he will only leave his bed to eat and pee. We put two pairs of socks on him yesterday and that...
