New to collars, but, the people i have been around have shown me that it should have two fingers fit under the collar. And the video i got with my collars, tell me to tighten up the collar where it is too tight, and then back off one, then make sure you check the two fingers. there are plenty of peo...

So the Vet had no idea what he got into, but its not a spider bite, or any other kinda bite, He said that they were punctures from a thorn bush, or sharp blades of some kinda bush. Anyway, he got a big ol shot, and a couple a pills a day to keep from infection. And then i bring him back next week fo...

Had a client just come in my office that is a groomer and took her out to see my pup, and she thinks its A hot spot Casey. Still going to the vet, and let him make the final call. She said i will need some hydro spray... We will see.

Just headed back to the house to check him out and its gotten worse. made an appt for this afternoon. Its now two spots that look pretty bad. UGH!!!!

Anyone ever had a pup get a spider bite. I just recently Shaved...Clipped My britt over the weekend, and came home yesterday, and went to petting him, when i got down his back he let out a little yelp. So i inspected further, thinkin something more serious, to find a little red spot (bump) on his ba...

So Where have you learned more? Was there someone that said something that triggered something in you that helped you further what you love to do?

jlowery

You want a bold and confident dog on birds, then Guns, then yard work... But i agree with the rest, sounds like your doing great. Just remember Smart, Simple, Successfull. I am right with you with a youngster i have, he is three months. let us know how things progress. Good Luck.

Great stuff, thanks for the info. I sure have a lot more hassle training two dogs on totally seperate ends of the spectrum, But Couldn't love it more. I have been working on a spread sheet to have some sort of structured training for each dog, rather than just wing it... Do you guys do anything like...

Yes NSTRA, both his parents compete, and do very well.

jlowery

I would suggest you give the young dog at least equal time alone as you do running him with Red, he will needs to learn to hunt independently and will learn to do that by running him alone. Sometimes puppies will get the bad habit of "trailing" an older dog, not always but its better to avoid than ...

Have you been to see Delmar Smith yet? I think he's you neighbor and he is the Guru of Bird Dog Training, Brittany's in particular.
