    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    These guys are spot on. The biggest thing I had to learn was to relax and have fun. This is supposed to be fun for you and the dog. If you find yourself getting angry, stop and go do something else. If the dog associates anger with training/hunting you are setting both of you up for failure...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    I have had a horseback field trial habit, going on for over twenty years now. In all of that time, no dog of mine has caught a young bird. I am sure it has happened, somewhere, at sometime. It is a training setback, whenever a dog does manage to catch a bird. It gives the dog the idea that...

    Did it again, another Puppy

    He shows signs of an unusually cold nose for an Airedale, already. Still a sight dog, but uses his snoot more than the others we have had. When I can get to my box with the scent in it, will start laying some trails in the back yard to see what he does - a puppy dropping into the middle of...

    If they are catching hatch-year pheasants, they are catching hatch-year sharptails. Hell, my dog has caught hatch-year sharpies on the opener. I struggle to see how they aren’t negatively impacting those public land birds at a vulnerable time.

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    The new year is bringing a few big changes for me, and some things I've been waiting a long time for. Moving back to Montana, getting married, and most importantly- finally getting a pup! After entirely too much deliberation, I've settled on trying to get a female yellow lab to train as a fellow...

    Chukar Dog Injury

    I wrote this after losing one of my dogs, she got to hunt the last day of her life... Puppies come and grow so fast but chew so much. There is potty, obedience, and retrieving training. Then there are introductions to birds and guns and putting it all together . For a short window they are in...

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    It’s really easy to get frustrated with your dog and take it out on them, but remember, the dog may not understand because you aren’t communicating what you want very well. Always be willing to take a step back in training.

    Newb wants to get into sporting dogs.

    Yes fur sharpness--and aggressiveness towards other dogs. The latter can be handled in training of course but seen and had judges tell me of the problem in both being an issue. Fur sharpness can be an issue in any versatile breed-- but with DD's and DK's being that it's required for testing...

    BOUGHT!: E Collar for lab

    Fair enough. Trying to save a few bucks as I’m saving for a wedding. I was looking at the sportdog 425-x. 500 yard range, waterproof, and they didn’t screw me out of my Navionics subscription like Garmin.

    BOUGHT!: E Collar for lab

    Agreed. In my mind just buy a Garmin training collar, brand new and be done with it. It will last as long as the dog, and no worries about previous owner issues.

    Thank you. I’ve been fortunate to test, train, and judge with some exceptional handlers and trainers, who have been kind enough to share their knowledge.

    Can anyone school me on blue grouse and chukar?

    What month? The closer you get to mid October the less you should be concerned. If hot, yes, I’d hunt chukar in the morning because the heat will make scenting hard plus wipe out your dogs. I’ve never snake trained my dogs. I’ve never had any issues but I might just be lucky. Carry Benadryl...

    Why I love labs

    I too love labs. Have owned five over a long period of time. Have owned two Chesapeake Bay retrievers also. Currently we have an eleven year old female and an eight month old terrorist/unhinged, wild bitch. Training my labs has been fun over many years. BUT, my eight month old bitch has been...

    Snake stories

    Had just moved into a new house that backed up to woods and a gully that drained into a local reservoir. We’d moved some outdoor stuff over prior to moving in, and it was sitting at the edge of where the newly seeded yard met the woods. A few weeks after moving in, my wife wanted to start...

    Tailgate Pics

    Tailgate has seen better days but this was just after a morning hunt with just me and my dog. S. Dakota is a long ways from Oklahoma. Been training my dog from a puppy, this is her first year.

    Stories like that are wild, but necessary to understand the extent of what is going on. Never experienced it to that degree in R4 but thank you for sharing.

    That is a common mistake I see. There is no reason ever to get mad at a retriever. https://missskeeter.podbean.com/e/trainer-frustrations/

    Pigeons

    Stop by a local farm and ask if you can trap/catch them. It's pretty easy to do at night. If closer I would help you but I shoot them since they make a terrible mess in my barn. Mark

    Iwo Jima Day

    My childhood’s friend was a USMC machine gunner at Iwo. He would reenact with his hands in front while in his belly. He would have us run at him doing bonsai charges then we would fall down around him! “Chili Dog” was proud to have carried out his assigned duties during combat. My high school...
