    The making of a retriever

    Love it! I especially like the way you double up your training with son and dog at the same time. Way to get things done! :) I hope all of you have years of great times up ahead. Looks like all of you have waterfowl figured out.

    Two Dogs Killed by Wolves in Colorado Less Than 24-Hours Apart 3-17-23

    You don't seem like the type that would let your dog roam around in a field full of sheep and cattle so i doubt he would have gotten your dog. I had a lab that got loose from my house when it was young. A rancher brought it back and let me know i was really lucky but i wouldn't be lucky twice...

    SB 388 Revising upland bird regs for Non Residents

    Effective date March 2024 so this coming season isn’t affected. I’m pretty ambivalent either way. The retired guys with RV and a dog or two don’t bother me too much. The dog trainers with dog trailer spending the entire season training certainly do. It can also be disappointing seeing...

    Halo GPS Dog Fence...yeah or nay?

    I hear that all the time, but it just isn’t true. It usually it comes from someone who doesn’t want to spend the money on a professionally installed fence with guaranteed containment. There are essentially two variables in the containment equation. A quality product, and quality training. Both...

    Still Kicking!

    I have had her laying next to it when I'm loading slash for burn pile. Laying in it's shade,just like Rio. But she backs off when I get in. Then follows me behind truck. Right there. The other day she went up the ramp and just ate the treats and jumped off...close. LOL I am going to bait the...

    Picking up Cold Game

    Next bird you kill.....tie a string around the neck and make a drag 90 degrees to the wind, put a zig-zig in the trail....maybe 50 yds. Do not let dog see you do it. know exactly where you started- flag it. rub the bird there and drop a couple feathers. use 8-10 foot lead. show the dog the...

    Looking for direction

    I’m reading the OP to ask more about learning to hunt birds than dog training. Orvis published a guide to wingshooting by Reid Bryant that is excellent for that purpose.

    Training reads/videos

    All great advice again. I don’t correct at all first season either. Plenty of praise for good points, not a word for bumping, breaking, whatever. I don’t have the need to ‘finish’ a dog with the hunting I’m doing. All I need and care about is a staunch point off the birds until I release...

    September 1st Montana upland opening, who, what, where?

    Im confident of this assessment of game numbers in my valley at this point. There are some local pockets of huns that did well around a few stubble fields on the local benches, but, other than these coveys, bird numbers are generally in the gutter., both the huns and the sharptail. These...

    I know you will be happy. You made a solid choice.

    Looking for some pup advice

    I am pretty much a GWP guy, have had labs as well. Much of what has been talked about above is a result of training. I have trained those big running pointers to work in close, 40-50 yards. I have seen labs run like jackrabbits because they didn’t have the training they needed. Bottom line...

    NL Pure pricing or sales??

    @tarheel I totally agree with you. That is one of the coolest shows to visit. From dog training to turkey/duck calls, to all of the art and entertainment venues, it is a cool one to enjoy. In addition, Charleston is nice to visit any time of the year.

    SB 281: Reducing the number of antleress B tags for Non--Residents

    Be sure to register today if you plan on providing testimony tomorrow: https://leg.mt.gov/public-testimony/ It's going to be a long committee hearing due to a big grizzly bear bill and a change in bird dog training licensing.

    Training reads/videos

    It's been so long since I purchased a training book that I'm a bit reluctant to recommend specific ones. Go to either Gun Dog Supply or Lion Country and look thru their selection of training books and videos. Long ago, I bought several. Bill Tarrant's book The Delmar Smith or something like...

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

    I know Gary Skiba better than any of the other current commissioners. Talk to him fairly regularly. He is a hunter and an angler, although he doesn't hunt big game much anymore. He's currently training a duck dog. He is "pro-wolf," which he would probably define as "pro intact ecosystem." Take...

    Another Dog Question

    After getting our lab pup (just over a year old) out into the field a couple times, I have run into an issue. She has a great nose and will find a downed bird, but she has been refusing to pick birds up. I trained her with wings and dummies, which she is always crazy about, and she has picked up...

    Charli from the North Coast

    Yes, but on a faster schedule. She’ll do her natural ability puppy test (VJP) in the spring of 2024. If she qualifies, I’ll plan on running her through the Armbruster (national fall puppy test HZP) in the fall of 2024, and then her utility test (VGP) in the fall of 2025. She’s a very smart...

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    I think some of that has to do with them always being the vicious guard dog in tons of films and TV shows the Doberman suffers the same reputation. I get it they do look intimidating but my experience has been they're big silly goober's who are fairly smart (when they wanna be). They definitely...

    Looking for direction

    I started off worse than not knowing anything. I knew the wrong things. For example, yelling "COME" when your dog is ripping off the other way and you have no control over it just serves to teach it that it doesn't have to come if it doesn't want to. We did that a LOT to our dogs growing up...

    Training Books/Resources for 99.9% couch potato 0.1% hunting dog

    So we just got a new pet for the family and kids. But, because the dog has the name Retriever in it I thought I would look to try to give some basic hunting training a go for the 1-2 duck hunts per year I go on and the maybe 1 upland hunt per year as the previous three dogs we have had have all...
