Great idea. One not usually thought of until too late.
I would add to Amy's post. While the dog needs to understand you are in charge, that whole "alpha" "pack leader" stuff turned out to be crap.
Those studies were done on wolves in captivity that...
I have a 4 hole trailer with a four wheeler pad. Insulated boxes with fan. But, a gas mileage killer! If I don't need the 4 wheeler, I use plastic crates with the box fan- buy an extra deep cycle...
Just awesome.
Thought it tasted salty.
Don't know what they got for their money. I know what a Golden Retriever is. I know what a yellow Lab is. I don't know what a Golden Lab is. Sorry to sound snobby but a "pet" peeve. Is that a pun?
I don't know the answer to your question, but I would burn your phone with a high six for the autocorrect.
Find some reruns of Super Retriever Series. She is the real deal. Very stylish fast working dog.
Use the long configuration. Put the dog's house, food and water at one end. The dog will tend to eliminate at the other.
Wayne- one more recommendation for Victor. My training partner swears it's the best food he has ever fed in over 20 years.
Another suggestion. Get her conditioned to a verbal cue. I like, "Gitterdun!" My wife hates it, but I refuse to be one of those guys wandering around the motel parking lot at a trial following a dog...
Come on Wayne! Where's the fun in that?
Get a shovel with a long handle. Position poop toward end of shovel. Be careful not to overload. Using one hand as a fulcrum approximately in the middle of the handle and the other hand as the...
I am a reluctant collar trainer. I basically don't like the idea of conditioning with a stimulation when the dog is performing a command correctly.
On the other hand, my dog had a serious no go...
Erik- save your money on the WCX- you are past that. Come to Wichita Falls this fall for the Golden National Specialty Field Trial. There will be a WCX test offered as well too. Come up a couple of...
A few years back, I attended a duck hunting academy at Wildrose Kennels in Oxford, MS. Mike Stewart taught the dog sections, Tommy Stutzman of Call 'Em Close, the calling, and of course Tom, the...
Larry- sent you another email. Please reply. David
Wolters vs,. Walters. Now that's funny. One or both of them are spinning in their graves at the comparison.
As to the book being pricey for just the diagram, I agree. But there is so much more...
Immediately buy Danny Farmer/ Judy Aycock's force fetch DVD. The best. All questions will be answered. Lardy's was the best, not any more.
Congrats ! You are getting into a whole new world with a field bred dog, and it's great. Super that your daughter is interested. Make sure she checks out the HRC Scholarship programs.
Go with...
Check with UKC and AKC. UKC will recognize an AKC registration. Not sure AKC reciprocates v
I think you are on the right track, but let wiser heads prevail.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you may have identified your own obstacle- low drive, pet breeding. It is not impossible, but it is more difficult to train this type of dog to run blinds....
Juli & Wojo-
Here is the thing about weight- if they are in fact heavier- which I am not sure about, they are still easier to carry. the base has a handle and the arms come with a carry sack,...
I have two of the featherweights and am happy with them. I know there are more than 10 people that have them, but maybe ten is as high as some folks can count.
