One reason to stop it is because the dam's nipples will become very irritated. Sometimes the pups even cut them. One other reason is to keep the dams nipples from hanging to the ground. If the dam is in a pen with the little devils she will not be able to get away from all of them on her own and thi...

Rooste, it helps this time of year with poor senting conditions if you take the bird and swipe it around on the weeds. Just do like a 2 foot circle and let the bird hit the weeds then plant it.

On pigeons you can lock their wings behind there back. That is hard to explain over the interenet but you basically fold one over the other twice then put it between some of the flight feathers. Clipping wings is very tricky if you are trying to shorten flight but still have flight. If you are preve...

BTW went to the vet yesterday and had my girl weighed and she is up to 37lbs. and 1 year 8 months old.

A state release and a perserve hunt are the same thing. Both tame birds. I am not saying don't goto a perserve or anything like that, it is alot of fun. It is good for the dog also. I do these a few times a year and it really helps with training. I do hunt wild pheasants most the year but my dogs do...

The beepers I have are G1 accessory beepers. Pear when is the G3 stuff coming out. I am getting ready to start training again with the weather about to break into something a little cooler. I want something pretty fast. I have looked at the sportdog stuff looks like good stuff but I am not sure coll...

Ok, one more question I have the accessory beepers. Now can I use this with the 70? In the manual for the accessory beeper it says something about you have to purchace it with the uplander "or what ever collar" to use it from the transmitter. Is this true?

ohiogsp

I use the TBI bags also. I take the birds out back to the grounds in cat carriers and then put in the bag to set them in the field. I used to just carry the bird carrier around with me to plant birds but I set it down on a yellow-jacket bee hive one time and got the crap stung out of me.

ohiogsp

I really need a 3 dog collar. I run my 3 dogs together all the time and hate having to use more than one transmitter. I wish they had a 3 dog that you could control beepers with.

Tri-tronics Multi Sport 3 G2 3 dog collars has anyone used these collars? I am going to have to break down and buy new collars. My "inotrash" collars just have no range left in them. I am wondering about the range on these tri-tronics collars. What do you think I would get range wise out of these co...

George hickox method is lots of training. There is steps to his training and it does work and it will take a long time. If you follow this to the tee and do everything you would have a very nicely trained dog. These are great videos even if you don't use his method because there is tons of info and ...

I have never heard of such a thing but there is a big difference in size in the GSP. I could see how someone would think that is true even if it is not. I have seen a GSP that weighed 85lbs. and I have one that is 35lbs. so that is a big difference.

ohiogsp

A sad day for sure.

I have a good friend with the initials of Doug Favor who taught me to teach my dogs "kennel" as the first command utilizing an e-collar. I like it because it teaches them two things: One, how to turn off the stimulus and two, the kennel is a safe and happy place. BTW: I think this is George Hickox'...

The same people called me and I told them to send me the check. Then I told them my name was spelled wrong on the check and if they would give me their address I would send it back. They would not (wonder why) and that was the end of our conversation. I bet they were mad I got to waste their time. :...

ohiogsp

These guys are right it can be very different. If I was to buy a started dog I would have a very clear idea of what the breeder thinks stated is. Some breeders think a dog is started if they took it running in the feild a couple times.

ohiogsp

I don't know about that dog but if it came out of CH/NFC ERICK VOM ENZSTRAND. Then it is a very good dual line. In most pedigree's you see this dog would be so far back you should look at what the parent did for a better guage.

ohiogsp

I know it is probably too late now to order this but you might want it for next time. This is a very good dvd on welping pups.

Oh yes, I forgot on my post after you launch the bird stop that dog from running with a checkcord. You have to stop the chasing. I can't believe I forgot that. I don't ever let my dogs chase that is probably why I forgot it.

ohiogsp

Remote launchers! Repeat this, dog scents birds, you launch birds. Do this until the dog figures out it can't get close. This will work, just repeat this over and over.

ohiogsp

Lots of old blankets. Swing the pups and rub until they get going. Then just keep them warm mom will do the rest.

ohiogsp

Catfish, check out this 35 lb. baby I caught a month ago. I got to tell you these big ones are great to eat.

ohiogsp

You are just asking a question, no need to apologize, you don't know what has went on this year with the black gsp debate. It has got way out of control on some boards.

ohiogsp

There is tons of myths about this but "nobody know why dogs eat grass".

Sounds like too much pressure to me. Back off and see if it helps. I think your dog is pretty young if I remember. I think something happened and scared her while on the cord. Let her be a puppy there is lots of time for training later on.

ohiogsp

I really think these people like this should have to take care of all these dogs for the rest of their lives, but that is just not the way stuff works.

I think by reading this it is a puppy mill that went out of business. The auction is all their dogs. Here is the kennel name and location. KBS KENNEL STACY WHITE & BRENDA RUSSELL 445 N.

So, the pups are registered with the ACA? This is not as well known as the AKC and for most people the AKC is the only registry they know. If you are not getting calls it is probably your advertising. The ACA registry might be the problem but to be honest with ya. If I was lookin for a dog to hunt/t...

ohiogsp

Is the dog a perfect retriever? If not I believe giving the bird back is not a bad idea. I do it all the time with pigeons. It encourages the dog to fetch it to you. I would have done the same thing you did. My thinking behind giving the bird back is if the dog thinks he can give you the bird and ge...

ohiogsp

Yep, leave them alone. I have some that will always nest on the floor. If you leave a waterer and a feeder on the floor so they can get it this will be your best bet. The parents sometimes have there own ideas on when they will stop feeding them. Pigeon babies can start feeding and drinking on there...

ohiogsp

Wagon, maybe a small coon also. I have had predatory birds in my pens lots of times through the bobs and they only kill what they eat. The only time everything was dead was with predatory animals not birds. The heads are always gone with coons they like the heads the best. When predatory birds eat y...

I will be trying to finish a MH title on my dog Bosco. Also get my 1.5 year old Boozer ready for her SH. I would like to also start doing some walking FT's with Boozer. If I ever get my other female retrieving reliably I would try to get a SH on her too.

ohiogsp

Way too young to use in launchers. Pigeons don't become very strong flyers until at least 2 months old. I never use mine until 4-5 months.

Some people do put raw eggs on dog food. I have seen a dog that died from saminella, from eating eggs, so I would not do it myself.

I looked for the gun dog wolters book. I can't find it right now. I did find the game dog book. In this book it has a pic of a guy standing in the yard and shooting a shootgun. Then wolters says, "I brought the dog up to the gun slowly, yard by yard". He is just standing there shooting repeativly an...

You can thank "Wolters" for that. And many other things.

If your dog accually gets a wally world pointed just start shootin you can't flush those things.

You will need a loft for pigeons. You could train homers to return from way over 40 miles more like 300-500 miles. This is what you want. I live near toledo but if you get a loft setup and what to buy some good homers I could probably sell you some. I have young homers that have not flown from my lo...

I use whoa for backing and for stopping a dog in the field for any other reason. I just don't train it until after pointing and STW&S. I use come as a command for other situations and my dogs know what it means. Come is do it now, no matter what, and don't stop til you make it to me. To me come is t...

"gundogguru", I think you were quoting me right? I do stuff alot different than most. I don't know if anyone else uses my method or not. I start my dogs on birds no training at all. I have great flying homers. I let the dogs run and flush as mush as they want as pups on a checkcord. I also go straig...

ohiogsp

Birds man. I don't even teach whoa until after my dogs are steady. The birds will teach them to point, be steady, and very stylish. For me whoa is for reinforcment and help with backing training. Accually I don't even use whoa for STW&S. Yard training is a very small part of my training.
