    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.

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    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

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    everyone think about dog trainers for a minute, their job is put dogs on birds. point , hold and retreive them, the guy with 57 dogs. how many birds does he shoot, but, how many covies does he wipeout completely, they have the time to cover every accesible piece of land, mark every covey of huns...

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    Agreed- there's a lot of training material on YT. Seems there's a thousand ways to skin this cat, and I need to figure out the best commands for myself and my future wife, as well as her corgi that occasionally listens. I'd prefer a softer approach, given the side effects I've seen of botched...

    Dog photos: 3 easy objectives

    Red Dog needs to work on retrieving and I need to work on my photography, but she did point her first bird with pretty much zero training.

    No, he’s just my hunting buddy. I dream of training one though. Leo just wants to sit with me.

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    ditto what these guys have already said^ about 1.5 yrs back the wife had to get dogs again so I made her at least get dogs that can hunt, I'm learning as much as they are on dog temperament and training, what works and what doesn't. books, youtube videos, and advice from other hunters. my...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    If you already have 2 dogs I wouldn’t hire the dogs. I would also talk to the two people bringing dogs and make sure they are ok hunting together. Just easier to know expectations ahead. If someone is training a pointer you don’t want the lab busting in to flush without command. I remember...

    Dog boots

    So, I run my dogs every day all year. I'm going to try roading them on a gravel roads next summer. Hopefully that will improve their foot endurance. Are you able to hunt without boots at all?

    New Pup

    I started e-collar training at about 6.5 months but only used vibrate. I really worked on retrieving training, whoa training, and recall before I even thought about the e-collar. When those fundamentals were set, then I started with place training and heeling. At 5 months, Penny, our Griff...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    I was just going to mention DON'T let the cost of birds override all else, especially what the dog handlers ask but most importantly, SAFETY for dogs and people. Agree on a word that will be used to halt all shooting. Most places I've helped simply use the shouted word SAFE. I'm glad you...

    Young Bird Dog (hopefully)

    So the kids were finally at an age where they are mainly self sufficient (8 and 5). I had been researching and learning as much as I could about breeders and breeds. I talked the wife into a golden retriever from a hunting background. We were on the list for the first female from a litter that...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    Yes, these 2 dogs & handlers have hunted together. I like the summer sausage & cheese route. Wish I had filled one of my tags this year; could have had sausages with a more personal touch :/

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    If your dog doesn't know that you want it to start tracking or following it's nose then you need to be clear/ build in a command for it. This can be just going to a hotspot for the scent and tapping on the spot while giving a verbal- ie go find it Vienna weenies are great for early training...

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    Never seen a dog that didn't have a nose a lot better than any of us do. Enhancing and bringing that out can be done in training, have to figure out what motivates the dog and make it a game. Be consistent with commands and they'll surprise you. I've used "find it" for everything from a...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    No worry about the last part, I wouldn’t know if the dogs are doing well or not. But yes, one accident can erase a whole day of fun in an instant, and cost far more than the bird will.

    Six Principles To Building A Great Dog

    I think this would be a fantastic book for anyone with their first dog. Advanced trainers might find this book too elemental because they learned these six principles years ago. I found this short book ($9 on Amazon) an easy read. There were not many specific examples, but the reader can think...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    I can go with a semi-professional hit job. They did get some partial facial images, and that will be helpful tracking down the shooter.
