The best thing that helped me with my pup. Was taking her for rides on the golf cart. I have an older gas golf cart. I took that thing off roading and just really did a full send with her on it. I did that every day. Needless to say. She never got car sick again. Now shes addicted to it. lol.

I’ve been working on getting my 1 yr old gsp steady to shot. I just feel like sayin f it and it is what it is. I don’t have pigeons. I have bob whites and use those the best I can. She whoas great at home with birds. She won’t move a muscle. They can fly or run and she won’t move. She whoas...

This is very true. I’m hoping to get some pigeons for next yr. A I’m in Ohio.

This is very true. I’m hoping to get some pigeons for next yr.

This is very true.

I do have access to bobs. And can plant them. But that would be a lot of wasted money compared to pigeons. Unless I trim so the can’t really fly off.

what is the best way to teach this. I do hunt tests and I guide. I don’t have access to pigeons. So I can’t work with her on that. I have been whoa training her. Which is going good. Has a solid point and not move til you flush the bird. I’d like her to not move til after the shot. But I’m...

???? I tried giving mine beer. She just sneezes lol. I know she’s young and it comes with experience. I’m just trying not to repopulate the state game lands with quail. lol. Them things add up. Darn tasty tho.

She just turned a yr old. Shes rock solid when she is on point. I can leave her on point walk to the truck come back and she’ll still be on point. You can touch her do whatever you want and she won’t move an inch. Today. I was working without my 12ga. Bird would shoot up outta the launcher...

I’m hoping. It took my other shorthair a few yrs to stop chasing. If it wasn’t for hunt tests and helping with some guides I wouldn’t care. But I don’t want her to get shot by the kids.

So I’ve been working on my pups chasing issues. She will find the bird. Point it. Hold point. I can look for it. She’ll stay on point. As soon as that bird pops up and flies off, she’ll chase it down. I’ve tried every method and nothing is working. At home she’s perfect. She won’t chase. In the...

It truly is. I had almost the same thing happen to me. Except they didn’t tell me to get my dog. It was like it was ok for the other dog to ruin it. ?‍♀️

So I’m finding when I put her on a check cord. It’s like she thinks we are on a walk and has little drive. If I take her off the check cord. Her drive comes back strong. Her whoa is getting really good. And she’s pointing like a machine. But as soon as that bird shoots up and you’re saying whoa...

Thank you

I will for sure. ?
