Collar condition to "here", then take him to the woods. Wild birds will do all the teaching. Shut your mouth, lose the whistle, and let the birds make him into a huting dog. Your pigeon launchers, planted birds, and check cord are there to substitute for what a dog chasing wild birds can do. The bi...

Re: Dog urine burning grass/bushes in yard
It's very simple........... any "yard" type area that a dog has access to, one needs to assume
that the area in question will be destroyed. Dog run with a concrete slab & fence.
