Sudi the deal with the chain gandg is not to just leave them there for days ...but in between while your trianing...the 18 inch snug to the ground ..what this is doing is teaching the dog that if it wants release from pressure on the neck it must relax and lay down..or be still then as you go to the...

the rubber stopper ...is Not to be snugged down ....i actually do not use it ...I leave mine at the end using it for the tap tap to come to you.... The nice thing is there is a link on the lyons supply to how to use the wonder/command lead. I was at an expo this weekend and showed quite a few people...

The problem you are having with the lead is you are not using it right and more then likely also do not have it in the right position it needs to be loop side away from you and high up behind the ears...you also have to have release of pressure..if you don't do a tap release tap releaee and this is ...

I will be happy when it gets here

I will still do the Snake avoidance this will not change ....

But as stated the vaccine will be that extra added insurance

Sadly i know of dogs every year that do DIE from snake bites...Had a guy last year that spent over $4000 when his 10 month old GSP took a bite to the neck from a mohave...3 weeks later Ace died from liver damage and the infection which they never could get under control and Dave the owner said he wi...

Well this is where we will have to agree to disagree I do my dogs at 4-6 months always have and always will..we handle the situation a bit different then adult dogs but I do not want them sticking their nose in to a rattler being curious and getting bit in the face or nose or neck as we have mohave'...

I have never seen a dog that didn't handle Snake Avoidance training done right...They related to the snake which has to be done as natual as possible with a Live Milked and defanged rattlesnake We do this all the time and have for years with many different breeds of dogs not just hunting and birddog...

I still have to say ...that AVOIDANCE is the best thing and that the vaccine is a good back up for the accidental run over.... It states all over that the vaccine only slows the process and isn't a gaurantee.... So anyone in or going to area where there are snakes should have the dogs Snake AVOIDANC...

Treats and rewards are more for the people then the dogs. Your great dogs that perform with consistancy making champions and HOF category are trained with effective training... training has come along ways with the improvements of the collars making training alot easier with desired results leading ...

i don't find quite a few of my dog responding to treats Bullet for instance his reward is more birds...so why carry around a bag of treats when he won't eat them....Treats are fine for working with dogs that are soft to bring them to a level where you can work with them in a real manner....as i stat...

IF you have a dog that responds well without treats why start...... I only use treats in certain instances and generally that will be on soft timid dogs and i will quit using treats as the confidence level rises dogs that have alot of drive most won't eat they are to intense about what they get to do

I have had 2 occasions were i resorted to treats for retrieves..with luck....I found Peanut butter worked for my first dog i has some issues with and then Some soft jerky treats worked with a FF gone wrong on another...Started with treast then slowly weaned the treats out with a good dog petting rew...

if you would have had Bunny huggers they are the worst...they think they are helping when in reality if they had their way the poor animals would starve to death or die of from diseases from being over populated

Have to admit she did a very nice job...I knew she would get it just by her intent and looks and everything was well put together....Now if they would put a DC in front of her name that would really be totally awesome I have posted this on a couple of other sites but my biggest concern now is all th...

what is the breeding and IS he doing anything in the field like NSTRA AKC or American field.....

Well i just got an update on a pup out of my last breeding to Picabo and Bullet....As i run NSTRA I have a friend that co owns Bear and runs him in AKC.wish i had the extra time and stuff to run more formats. Bear will be a year old on feb 21st here is his win record so far......hope this is a good ...

My Dear Dogs and Cats, When I say to move, it means to go someplace else, not to switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way. The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The Other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print i...

Tom DT systems is coming out with a collar which a buddy of mine used for a tester during a filming of a show coming out later this season and Bob and i got to see it at the SHot show...Looks pretty promising....I like my tri tronics 70 classic sport but the DT Does have more levels to which to work...

LMAO Brenda.......At least people no longer try to run in the field when i judge for some strange reason....

work the wind and the cover If the bird planter is doing theri job there should be 5 birds placed around the field so generally break the field in to 5 work around as alot of bird planter seem to have a thing about putting birds near the boundries ..the object is for all the birds to be taken in eac...

Well said!

If you can I would go back to some check cord backing during the off season ... I would also work on whoa in the back yard there are many different methods from whoa boards to whoa posts...pick a way you thinks fits you and your dog and work with it Do you use the e collar....if so when you are goin...

That is great to hear....I know many people get very excited about their new pups ....I was only trying to stress that part of having a plan for success not failure...sorry if it came across wrong...there are many ways to train and handle young dogs...anything which heightens a pups desire is great ...

At this stage in the PUPPY's life everything should be fun little learning games... you can start teaching some basic commands like whoa with treats and at feeding time www.brittanygundogs.com/Brittany_training.htm even though this is a brittany site this information is a good foundation for what to...

Cool ......look forward to seeing them.. it is so hard sometimes to hold back when your excited about what a pup is showing..... this litter i have now i am going to keep a male out of...it is fun to watch them i already have my eye on 2 of them but they still haven't even open their eyes yet....the...

the trick to the dice toss is starting with the best info you got....good breeding stock is probably the most important thing not just that the papers have champions and such but also that the dam and sire have what your looking for...then a bit of puppy appitude test to POTENTIALY show what you hav...

Bummer to hear that do you have them on glucosamine about 500 - 750 mg per day with chondriotin and or MSM it really does help them takes about 3 weeks before you'll start seeing a difference.....

so who are your up and coming young trial prospects

I like to look for a pup that isn't afraid of exploring new things around them ...This doesn't mean the ALPHA pup.. I like to observe each pup by themselves and expose them to different little things like a noisey kids toy the ones that when this is dropped in front of them do they run away from it ...

Awesome Brenda.....So when do you pass rebel

We still have some openings left for this seminar

We are located in between Phoenix and tucson

yes...you go to the www.akc.org site and down load the form you will need a copy of the reg and 3 generation pedigree....follow the directions send your money ...i have done this with 2 dogs

from a cat hunter i found out the story on the pic is the cat was dead it had falling off the mule when being packed out and the mule turned and started to attack it......Still pretty neat pictures

That is about all you can do ..i have seen timid dogs be more inclined to sit when ever they feel pressure which haven't been taught to sit... Biggest thing is DON'T make an issue out of it neither good or bad...just calmly go and set the dog up in a whoa position give one gentle stroke down the sid...

not dave walker .. but we are about to do a rick smith seminar the last weekend in feb here at pheasant rec...those i know who have gone to clinics speak highly of the good ones .....i know when i was training horses i found John Lyons and Richard Winters to be great seminars and also the tapes and ...

That is the last command i will ever teach a birddog to do..is sit until all the bird work and training is finished

Mans Best Friend Software I use it ...easy to use and the COI goes back 10 generations if you have all the info plugged in

you can order this stuff called FORBID i think fosters and smith has it add it to the weims food fro a few days to a week...I have tried meat tenderizer and that didn't help my dog but the FORBID put a halt to the Poop eating

the only problem with limited is some of the things in AKC do not allow a limited reg.... The only reason I will ever send a pup out on a limited is if there is something wrong...an over bite for instance...i do not feel that this dog belongs in a gene pool BUT i am totally up front with the buyer a...

that is a bit different..but still a pup and when he got that bird to him it is still a prize..... try playing fect in a hallway with a frozen bird on a checkcord throw to the end of the hallway and let him go to it when he starts to put his mouth on the bird excitly tell him to fetch it up while ge...

This is something that should be indicated proir to purchase about limited or full registrations... if buying for stud purposes and the breeder didn't state limited before hand this is misrepresentation and cause for a suit...Most of the time breeders will do limited due to a breeding fault...or som...
