Re: building prey drive in a new pup

There's more than one way to skin a cat. I don't want another obstacle to overcome when the pup goes to catch a bird again the second time around. Just simply a good introduction and no pigeon wings slapping on a 8 wk old pup.

Hold off on the launcher for a while. Wave the birds around in front of the dog, then cross the wings and toss the bird gently in some tall grass. Don't let the dog catch it.

Re: 1 Dog for Wild Birds

Pheasants can get to scooting in tall cover but one good one will get it done fine. Two or more can turn into a foot race between dog and result in wild flushes but also may block a runner once and a while. If I really wanted two dogs out there it would be a retriever at heel as the second dog.
