Dog in season and "group" training.

WiskeyJaR · Post by **WiskeyJaR** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 10:48 am

for those of you that go to "clubs" for training and such. If your bitch is in season, and knowing that your dog would be on lead the entire time, so no chance of "tagging", would you still take your bitch to group training? or would you keep the bitch home till she is done? How much will she "interfere" with the other dogs?

The Club meeting is only a monthly thing, so she will more then likely be done by next time, (3 weeks). But am curious how much a female in season would mess with other young dogs in training? Do folks just keep their females home so as not have to worry about it?

My opinion is to leave her home till she is out. There is nothing to be gained by taking her.

Leave her home. She might be on a leash all of the time but the males in the class would certainly be distracted. You would not be very popular with the other dog owners.

Every place she pees and probably every place she steps she is going to leave a distraction for every male dog participating that day. Having a bitch in heat present can also get the other females to acting up, being aggressive etc.

If she's not completely out do everyone a favor and leave her home. CR

If you want to lose all your friends quickly take her to the training day !

Had someone do that at a field trial this past fall. Brought the dog right to the line then decided to pull the dog. It took the first 100 yards of hacking to keep my dog to the front instead of cheking out the last place she was. I weren't happy.

Not to mention she might not get much out of the session either. Trainer had our girl recently while she was in season. Although she was able to stay in training, several of his other girls who were "in" had to take a break. They just weren't in the frame of mind to be learning at the time.

We did decide that it was much more pleasant for us and the 3 intact boys at home this time since the one with hot pants was away!! Think we'll arrange it that way from now on...

Whiskey......
I went to that same club's meeting years ago, are they still using that wagon wheel setup with the place boards???

They told us to " go over there " and train because we had been thru the whoa post and e-c to the flank.

I put a topic up years ago about that wagonwheel place board setup and it got hammered ...........
