    Your Bird Dog throwing you hints that the season is near?

    I almost exclusively hunt with my father in law and I generally drive to his place and we hop in his truck and go from there. Last weekend we were moving some stuff from his garage and I left the passenger door open on the truck. Mojo jumped in and wouldn't get out till I forced him an hour or...

    Hawk scream e collar

    I don't want my pup to work at a shorter range. I'd like him to work a reasonably large area around me, so I can cover more area. As you get into thicker cover and he slams onto a point it doesn't matter what color he's wearing (I generally do use a blaze vest) - you have a heck of a time...

    Hawk scream e collar

    I haven't yet but I intend to start using the hawk scream. My dog was scared of it at first - I think because it is so loud and he doesn't know where it's coming from so he gets all confused when he hears it. I need to condition him to that, and then I intend to have it on him just so that I...

    South Dakota is their new target

    I have always been angered by the fact that their commercials are all about helping shelter animals but the money funds all of these other agendas. It should be illegal to do that as a charitable organization - bait and switch in my mind.

    Style?

    I gotta say my favorite point is by far the goofy one when the dog slams on the brakes from a dead run in a crazy body position because they just hit that scent... just awesome

    New Brittany puppy , could use some help

    My Brittany ate his poop for around a year when he was a pup. All I would do is scold him if I saw him doing it, and he basically seemed to grow out of it for the most part. I had been told at the time that it had to do with nutrients in his poop as well potentially, and 2 cups of food seems...

    Getting too far out

    So this is a bit of an old post, but how is it going? I am a guy just like you, 29 and learning this whole dog training thing as I go. I don't have a huge interest in spending a bunch of cash on trainers and whatnot, because I already enjoy hunting with my buddy very much, I am just always...

    Steady on point

    Hey Guys, It's been way too long since I have been on here but Mojo and I have really made some good strides in the past year and I have been able to get him on a lot of birds this fall. Mojo is now 2.5 years old and he is turning into a really nice hunter. He is consistently able to find the...

    Dog sits when pointing

    if it were me I'd try physically lifting her butt up so she is standing again, the same as if my dog were to sit while training woah. lift her butt up, get her to the right form, then stroke and praise her. but I do agree, don't go too crazy with the wing on a string Chuck

    Teeth cleaning.

    I thought about buying tools - Amazon has some http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001JE32HY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_9?ie=UTF8&smid=AQK11O1HS2GGC or http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00061MXJ4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&smid=A1T2S38PAJOJ51

    Teeth cleaning.

    I have actually started to do the same thing. Although, I didn't buy any kit, I just use a small metal tool that seems to be shaped the right way to make it work. Brushing Mojo's teeth is impossible, he tries to chew and eat the paste and whatever but I find that scraping the tartar off every...
