I think Powder coating it black would be fine. I remember somewhere someone put bed liner on theirs and then took measurements in the middle of the day and in the middle of the summer. The readings came back the same on both. So I would say go for it. Fans I think would be fine but only if they are ...

Ok went to Gander Mountain and picked up a new one. The first two that I grabbed did not even turn on and the very last one they had turned on. We tested it out and it defiantly works. Had it on 3 and had the wife bark like a dog. It defiantly works. :twisted: Have it on 2 now and on molly, she is q...

Brittlver

I like the size of the TT but I do see your point that if it does not consistanly correct her then what is the point of having it on. Hopefully Gander Mountain will have the ys300 but I know they have the ys500. The other issue I saw with the dogtra collars is they had longer probes on them. Now I d...

Brittlver

Thanks for the Info. Ya they said it is supposed to last one year. I am hoping I don't need it that long. I am hoping that either she learns to stop barking or we get a house and she can bark all she wants because she will be outside and in the country so won't bother anyone. Then all she will do is...

Brittlver

Your funny lee. Yes i counted the lights. Last time is was on, I had it at five. Just under the chin where you are suppose to have this and ecollars. No scruff to block it from good contact. Counted the lights after turning it off and I stopped count at around 50 blinks. So my guess is it is broken....

Brittlver

Thats what I thought. Theres now way she could go thru all 5 settings and not even yelp.

Brittlver

Yes the collar is on and nice and snug. I even tried to put it on my throat to see if I could get it to go off and nothing. Wonder if it is just not working. It reads the bark but don't think it actually corrects.

Brittlver

UPDATE: Ok I have had the collar for a couple days now. I don't know if it is working. She barks right thru it. Does anyone know how you can test it. I have gone all the way up to 5 but does not even phase her. I have tried to put on tight to make good contact but nothing. I might just go to the Dog...

Brittlver

Very nice Lee very nice.

Brittlver

Ya the only one they had was the 500.

I don't know the TT G3 is pretty user friendly with just a push of a button and tells you how many times they tested the collar to see if you need to turn it up. I like that option the best.

Brittlver

Just wanted to update you. I went out and bought a TT last night and working to set it for her. I like the TT as it is small with small prongs. I looked at the Dogtra and the thing was the size of my old school Sport Dog e collar and weighed the same if not more. I liked the fact that it was recharg...

My 7.5 month old Britt went through this, too. Started at about 5.5 months, really whiney when we'd put her outside, would jump up against the door, would bark, etc. I ignored her til she was quiet, then went and got her and gave her praise. Took about a month, maybe 6 weeks, for her to get past th...

Few updated Pics of my coop. Will hopefully finish it this weekend and get some birds in it. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/sportracer69/MyCoop5.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/sportracer69/MyCoop4.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/sportracer69/MyCoop7.jpg http://i89.phot...

One for the water hose and squirt bottle, no batteries to recharge :lol: I tried that method, but the older dog I had learned that he could bark at the gate, then when he hears the back door open, he could run to the back of the yard and stay away from me with the squirt bottle. I didn't want to ca...

Brittlver

Thanks for the reply. I think it is seperation anxiaty as this only started about a month or so ago. She is fine when we are near her otherwise she acts like we are going to leave her. When a collar is on her since acts normal and goes and lays down or plays with her toys as she knows that the barki...

Brittlver

Alright everyone, I am getting to the point where I need to start looking for a good bark collar. My pup is starting to bark constantly when she is outside and we are not. I think she is overly dependant on us as she hates being away from us. If we are inside and she is out she will bark non-stop. I...

Brittlver

Looks like its coming along. I know building mine was a pain in the but so I built mine to last as long as possible. You might want to consider using plywood instead. It will hold up much longer over time IMO. Also a little tip when you are cutting out your doors. Cut just where your hinges go firs...

Brittlver

Well I finally decided to pull the trigger on building a coop. Hoping to have everything finished this week. Me and Cory(Cpainter) are in the process of building it now. Here are a few pics as to where we are at. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/sportracer69/MyCoop2.jpg http://i89.photobucket....

Alright after much thought about our future kennel name, we decided against Muddy River as there are a few other people that already have this name. So we came up with a new name and after a search of the internet I do not think this name is taken yet. So with a month to go to get Molly registered w...

Chocolate Chip, Retard, Idiot are a few of mine.

Brittlver

One that I am able to get into the field with good friends, good dogs, and good health. Nothing else is real important. Ezzy +3 Nothing like being in nature and being with Friends. I could care less if I don't see a bird as long as I am having fun with friends and hanging out with my dog. Jesse

Brittlver

I am sure I will be heading up there this fall too. Not to many grouse down here to get my dog on. Heard the numbers are up this year also. We will see how the season turns out.

Brittlver

Oh Joe don't be so harsh on the guy. Who knows he may be a multi Millionaire. J/K I asked this question before and after thinking about it I have decided that I would start by boarding and then work into breeding and training. The good thing with boarding is that by the time you learn enough to star...

Brittlver

My Britt is 10 months old right now and I belive shes over 40 lbs now. Then again she is easy 20 inches at the shoulders and built like her dad. Ezzy can attest to how big she is.

Brittlver

Thanks for the advice you two. I am thinking of just working on Standing until released just because that is what I do when I let her out of the kennel, out the door or coming in and feeding. So I will just carry it over to the field. Since I don't know anything about water retrieving I am sure it w...

Brittlver

Would working on Standing still until released be ok, I would think that would carry over to the field and help with steading. Or am I way off on this thought?

Brittlver

Just got my pup loving the water. What would you suggest doing to work on retrieving in the water. I don't want to screw up anything for upland. I plan on eventually using her for duck hunting as well as any other flying bird. She will retrieve anything I throw out so not sure where to start. Maybe ...

Brittlver

It was a blast just like usual. Heat did not help out at all but we made do with what we had. Pat I am glad we were able to get your dog liking birds. I know it was just a matter of time. Hopefully this year will be good to our pups. Joe - We'll hook up some weekend to do some more training. Might n...

COUGH...COUGH... Man Onk it sounds like you are now doing so well, I don't think you should go to work. LOL Don't want to get your coworkers sick. Do you.

TWO MORE DAYS!!!!!! Got my whole weekend planned out Leaving my house at 630 am Sat. to meet up with Alan Ott in Rockford by about 8 ish then we will be heading to Ezzy's place. Once all the training and talking is done we will be heading to Lowden State Park to camp for the night. Sunday afternoon ...

Brittlver

Just wanted to give everyone an update before the day is here. Cory will be bringing some Beef Chedder Hot Dogs and I will be bringing snacks. If everyone wants to bring a dish to pass that would be great. Thinking we should meet around 9 am if that is ok with everyone. Here is an updated list on wh...

Brittlver

Here you go, get a couple of these and you should be fine. I plan on building 4 of these into my box for the summer months. 250 CFMS each.

Brittlver

See that is what I am thinking. Never head a female before only males and a friend of mine had a female that turned crazy when she was in heat. Mine sits there and whines all day and then when you let her out to stretch she goes absolutely ballistic. Well hopefully the experts can tell next weekend ...

Brittlver

Thanks Ezzy guess I am just a bit slow. Never noticed that you moved it. Wheres the smilie with the fish hitting the guy on the head. LOL Just wanted to let the new people that it got moved.

Brittlver

Just wanted everyone know that the Training day post got moved to Events. Please check it out for updates.

Brittlver

Anyone up for some trap shooting. Was thinking we could have some fun after we get done training the dogs and shoot some clays. Anyone have a good launcher they would be willing to bring. Of course you would have to provide your own guns, shells and clays but I think would be a blast.

Jesse

Brittlver

I think its getting bigger but then again I am not 100%, Just know her attitude has changed alot in the last week or two.

Brittlver

Anyone elses dog a royal pain in the butt when she is in heat. I think my dog is in heat now, I can't tell by looking at her as she is super clean dog, Her nipples are a little swollen but other then that I can't tell. In the last 2 weeks she has started whining none stop, Not listening to anything ...

Brittlver

Tell him you want to make a weekend out of this. You could come to the training day and learn alot from Jonesy on Sat. then make your way to Chicago for a day there. I know my wife would prob. love that. Or you could just hang out in the area with us and stay at one of the campgrounds and drink beer...

Brittlver

15 days and counting. Anybody else wanting to come. I know people from the area have seen this post. Come on your missing out on a good time.

Brittlver

My blind is always open to whoever wants to come out. Since you have a small game license too we could hit up the pheasant fields in the afternoon too. Make a whole day out of it. I am thinking about getting my licenses for IL if they aren't to bad.

Jesse

Brittlver

Will do, there are always places to duck hunt, I am sure Joe or me or someone else can always help you find a good duck hunting spot. If it didn't cost me an arm and leg I would come down there to take you out. But the licenses are a killer for me.

Mine is the best Brit of all time. Why, because she is simply the best dog out there. Just Kidding I have no idea. I am new to the gun dog arena so I don't know any dogs exept Beans Blaze. Which Molly has in her.
