Great day! A lot of nerves but we did it! Looking forward to our second test in a few weeks!

Do you guys think it's possible to FF a 5 year old chessie? A buddy of mine has one, great drive, will retrieve anything but just doesn't deliver to hand. He'll normally drop the bird 5 feet away.

Ken its about 3 hours north of us, we'll be staying at my brothers place. So he'll get to sleep in the house with us.

Thanks Byron, Maybe I should just work on my breathing this week! I haven't really had him around holding blinds a whole lot. If I get him around them this week will that be to late?

Thanks Kelly! I'm really excited!

My 1 year old black lab and I have our fist JH test this weekend. Just curious as to what your routines are the week before a hunt test. Do you keep it normal or do you change it up at all?

Thanks everyone! I didn't want to overpay him the first time to where he expected that much every time.

I'm taking a 12 year old neighbor kid to throw bumpers for the first time tomorrow, what do you all pay birdboys? Thanks

Dwayne its not that hot here in Vancouver, WA. That morning it was only 60 degrees, just trying to get him used to it. Did a couple retrieves and took it off.

Thank you Hogcity. I got him from our friends here in SW Washington. It was their first litter, he is about a year now.

Training pics from a few weeks ago, hope this works!

I live over in Vancouver and would love to get together with a group as well. I'm training my first pup, 10 month old black lab. We're hoping to have him in his first Junior HT in July.

Ron,

Where is the hunt test this weekend, I would love to get down there and watch! Thanks

Thanks Wayne we'll work on that today for sure, Thanks!

My 9 month old is doing great with the hold command when he's on the work bench. Now today we attempted walking hold and it was as if forgot everything! We would start walking and he'd drop the...

I've started FF with my 8 month old black lab. I'm working on hold right now. He really like to gnaw on the paint roller. I've been told just to tap the bottom of his chin when he does this. ...

My 8th month old black lab is pretty good at heel command, instead of him healing on my left side he likes to heel in front of me on my feet. Anybody have any recommendations how to fix this??

I was training my 16 week old puppy today with a live bird for the first time. All he wanted to do was pull feathers. What is the best way to correct this?!

Thanks for the help! I was really working myself up about this yesterday!

Dominance for sure.

Thanks for the tip. Its weird it just started today out of no where. The last couple of weeks I've been throwing bumpers its been great. Then today he would get about a foot from me an shake the...

I'm new to this whole duck hunting dog training so I'm not sure if I over examine things sometime. But my 10 week old started growling when he brings his bumpers back (or when i pull him back to me...
