Ditto what Fundog says. I have learned more from the clinics than anything else I've ever done with dogs (and I've done a lot!). I'd budget for one of the clinics and get there for a great learning experience. X2 I have been to two clinics at perfection kennels well worth the money, and its really ...

I went to three local area ski trails this weekend to check them out all of them had no dogs allow signs at them, we end up using private snowmobile trail close to home seemed to work ok, as far as I can tell there are only 3 state aid trails in Minnesota that allow ski joring

I skijor my GSP's to keep all of us in shape in the winter. I'm lucky to have some great trails to do it on, and a local mushing group that helped me learn. We have a lot of dog sledders here in Michigan, and I got sled dog harnesses and lines from them. I bought a skijor belt for myself from a loc...

The checkcord goes on the dog along with ecollar that is not turned on, anytime we got out to train (so far mostly playtime) we do longer retrieves then the check cord, and tossed into 2 to 3 feet of snow tests the dog some, seems to carry the object well without chewing or play with, just play with...

You said kneel in the grass, hahahaha ,I haven't seen grass since November, most the time he will bring the object in my direction if I walk away from him ,then I just get ahold of the checkcord and bring him into me, other times if we are facing each other I give the cord a couple of tugs and he ge...

what tips can you give me about enhancing a natural retrieve in a young pup, I've been doing a few retrieves with my young pup (six month old Brittany) on a check cord with no pressure, he seems to really like to chase it down and picks it up and I get him to bring it to me, my question is how do yo...

I used the perfect start method with my Brittany, It works, its all about timing, just remember to do it in steps, also the dog should understand whoa before it is whoaed around birds, then without smelling them, and finally smelling the birds, this way when you use whoa around birds the dog doesn't...

Well got a couple hours of hunting today didn't see a bird, any help would be kindly taken, we are stay around ashley

ibbowhunting

If possible get a pigeon coop built, and you may have to raise your own birds if you get homers,(this may take some time) also adding where your from may help with finding birds and helpful people

P.S. good choice with a Brittany in my opinion, I have two of the little devils

This may sound backwards but put the longer prongs on and the collar can be looser

sometimes the pumps will allow flow thru them, which I would call ghosting, sometimes due to other zones running or just gravity, guessing the boiler is lower then the zone in question(heat raises) the easiest way I know of is to replace the pump with a grunfos ups 15- 58 pump with check valve, or s...

ibbowhunting

Are the zones controlled by pumps or zone valves?, meaning you may have 3-4 pumps or one or two depending on the way it's plumbed

If you add your locati...

I have been looking on the INTERNET and found one that seemed to be in my price range. I thought the DT 509 quail and pigeon launcher looks to be a good one. My concern is that I have seen some u-tube pics launching some quail but no pigeon. A pigeon is a little heavier than a quail. My concern is,...
