    Charli from the North Coast

    First, you want to make sure the dog has a sense for tracking. I do this with food tracks. Just put a piece of kibble about every 6 to 12 inches and do about a 30 to 60 foot string of it, with some sort of reward at the end. Once you’ve done a few of those, then drag a bird, and lay some...

    Rattlesnakes in Montana.

    It certainly depends on the dog. My draht took one time. My buddy’s dog took three.

    Sh*t our kids do

    It’s all good until the preschool teacher calls because he’s marking his territory on the playground slide. I’ll offer you a friendly piece of advice, it may or may not be from experience, when your wife gets the phone call and is red in the face embarrassed don’t laugh because you think it’s...

    Training reads/videos

    I have always considered a dog's first hunting season as whatever will be will be. I do not care if I kill a bird all fall. What I want is to get the dog into birds, birds birds. They will point some of them. They will rip out some of them. Most of their encounters are points, held for a second...

    From the sticks to the streets

    I appreciate the input. The best news is that I will still have my hunting spots 20 min away instead of 10 min. The worst will be not having the room to walk outside and train the dog. But it will be a short ride to get a training session in.

    dougdelite: Can a beagle flush pheasants and retrieve swimming birds?

    My kids are after me a bit to add a beagle to the family, so I'll be interested to see if you go that route. My $0.02 as 1) a person who knows only a little about dogs and 2) knows even less about hunting dogs...YMMV Two years ago I purchased a lab pup with a strong bird hunting pedigree, and...

    Snake Avoidance Training

    Took the pup to a rattlesnake avoidance training class today. He’s off lead most of the time, and there’s enough prairie and Great Basin rattlers around our areas that I felt it would be a good investment to hopefully avoid his curiosity getting him snake bit. There’s been 2 rattlers spotted...

    Dog Bite While Packing Bull Out

    I would have kicked the crud out of that dog, and if he continued, lead training. Mrs. Fan is afraid of dogs. Had she been there, skip the kicking and go right to the therapy.

    Blood tracking dog

    I've been thinking about getting/training a dog myself. Intrigued with the idea of a basset hound but I think a baying hound type may not be the best in case the tracked critter hasn't expired, a silent tracker may be better.

    Who here owns one or more Golden retrievers?

    I have a red but I feel I’m not qualified to be in this conversation lol. He doesn’t get the training I wish I could provide, and he doesn’t see a barber. My wife keeps his nails trimmed nicely and cuts the fur between his toes probably monthly. The burrs catch him pretty good but usually not...

    Governor Polis appoints three new members to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission

    Is it true he was one of the driving forces in ending spring bear season?

    Halo GPS Dog Fence...yeah or nay?

    There is an entire FB page dedicated to customers who have nothing but problems with Halo. The theory sounds amazing, but the reality is it is total garbage. Here are the major issues: 1. Consistency. If you looked up the most important aspect of dog training that one word would rise to the...

    Most educational thread of 2022.

    There's a couple of recent polls posted asking us to vote on a prepared list of most humorous and best story threads. I'll throw this out as a "you fill in the blank instead of me doing it for you" question. What thread of 2022 did you find most informative? Anything goes: reloading...

    Chukars in the Root.

    Because of predators or weather? I was always under the impression they were a fairly resilient bird.

    It's puppy season. Franklin Goes to Hollywood

    Both Franklin and I had a new experience this past weekend, I ran him in a series of AKC hunt tests. It was four tests over two days and he managed passing scores on all of them, so now he gets to have the title of Jr. Hunter added to his AKC registered name. His intelligence and drive never...

    Pup training--making progress

    I like to wait until about the 6 month mark to begin force fetch. This gives time for the pup to lose baby teeth and grow adult teeth. I try to have obedience (sit, here, heel, kennel, etc.) down solid as well. At the same time try to cultivate the retrieving desire with basic single marks on...

    Transition to Cold Blind Retrieves

    Cold Blind = Unknown Destination. The transition to cold blinds is something newbies often struggle with. I like to use an approach called "walk around" blinds where each training session is a new area and new blind locations. But pup goes with me in the field to plant at least 3 blinds...
