    Young Bird Dog (hopefully)

    Great looking pup! I had very similar scenario 3 years ago...pup opportunity fell out of the sky in April and I picked up our lab after a 10hr round trip drive on zero notice. My first gun dog, 90% family dog, unexpectedly training her myself, etc. etc. We trained and she hunted the first...

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    My wife’s dog has learned to use her nose. I started with go find where we hide the treat and she has to sniff it out. I have also had her on blood trails. She is not in the gifted and talented class but with focus and training I could get her to find Timmy in the well.

    Best upland gun dog breed?

    I got a dog from Silver Buckle Kennel in Kalispell. He's perfect around the house and almost perfect in the field. I did exactly zero training. He is kinda ugly and my kids don't like that he's not soft to pet.

    New Pup

    I'll have to pick those up as well. Thank you. I have a few acres of pasture ground that I do nothing with, so I'll plant it into CRP strips and use it as training. Hopefully I can make the training simple, quick, and fun for him out the back door. Any tips on how to make the gun shots fun...

    Side note, I picked up Rick and Ronnie Smith's training series on DVD when we got our first bird dog (shorthair) it helped a ton. Dave is also pretty good about posting research data on his FB page.

    Recommendations for ND/MN/MT Gundog Trainer

    Over the Top Retrievers in Monticello MN did a great job with my dog. Scott has a nice set up. I think he might be down in TX training right now but believe he starts back up here in April. Shoot me a PM if you have any specific questions.

    Pheasants Today!

    My son and I took the dog and the shotguns for a walk this morning at the Cooke Canyon Hunt Club near Ellensburg Washington. We found six birds and brought down 5 of them! My son used his lightweight 28 gauge CZ double and steel 6's. I used the 1930's 12 gauge Remington 32 over & under with...

    Bloodhounds

    To start, I have only trained Labs for waterfowl hunting, we had Spaniols for pheasants when I was young. Really enjoying training and watching dogs work. I am really interested in training a tracking dog for mostly deer but plan to train for any type of recovery. Ive been watching training...

    Can you talk me out of getting a GSP

    Sounds like a training problem to me. Raised two with my kids, great family dogs. Prototypical pheasant dog for the OP too, but they are truly versatile. Not ideal for very cold water work but they are stronger swimmers than labs at the same size.

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    Just out of curiosity, can you train a dog to follow a scent if they seem to have zero natural ability? We have a family dog who is two years old and is a shelter mutt (the story is that a border collie came in starving with a litter of mix'n'match puppies, and he was the runt of the puppies. He...

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    Dogs have better noses than humans so they have the ability to use them for almost any scent. Training is best just after weening and Dad was known for his excellent tracking Beagles. Older dogs may take a little more time. Border Collies are known for their brains and are very quick learners...

    Well done. And great looking dog.

    Best upland gun dog breed?

    As others have already said, you need to decide what you’ll be hunting and what type of hunter you want, flusher or pointer. Other decisions come down to coat, do you want a short hair or long hair. If you’re hunting thickets with briars and such, long hairs can be a chore after the hunt, GSPs...

    2023-2024 Chukar Adventures

    I've shot a few chukar, but they came out of a cage and I did it in the name of bird dog training. Tasty buggers. I'd like to give it a go on the real deal someday (I think). Cool stuff, beautiful place neffa.

    Breeder recommendation for Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

    How's your dogs hunting drive? I've been hesitant to get a WPG over a GSP because of people saying their hunting style is really slow. From videos of them hunting, they don't seem that enthusiastic. Also, if you have it obedience trained, or trained to wing and shot, how was the training process...

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    With a puppy you can always try to wrap a rag with the scent of choice around his food bowl so every time he gets fed he correlates the two together or place it under the food bowl as well. Then start small drags as mentioned above and add length as he starts progressing with the same scent...

    Breeder recommendation for Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

    That sounds pretty good! What breeder did you get him from? Also, if you did obedience training or any other type of training (steady to wing and shot, water retrieve, trailing) what was his tolerance for training like? Did he not want to do repetitions? Was he hard headed at all or was he very...
