What someone said above, you gotta want it as much as the dog. Get ready to sweat and lose a few pounds. Enjoy the rewards.
Launchers are almost a must. Work well for us. Invest in one at time...

Marty Kress ran her 3 legged dog Austin. The dog had as much drive and desire as any you ever see and more than many. Never doubt the desire of these creatures.
The "Riverboat Gambler" analogy is spot on with many folks. I had a female pro trainer say that a man's ego in reference to wanting to line a blind causes issues quite often. She was a judge as...
Two and a half years ago we bred a nice female to an FC/AFC male and decided we were going to keep a yellow male and a black female. We let all our puppy customers pick their's and kept the last one...
Have a litter due out of my 9 year old male in a couple of weeks. Please don't tell him he might be getting to an age where there are any restrictions. He would not be happy.
Nice reply Howard.
I think the TT is just the next step in the logical process of control and letting a dog learn. When we start with simple 3 handed casting, there is one bumper and a lot less...
The first hog to the trough gets the best slop.
At duck camp a couple of weeks ago-"I would quit using that air freshener, it smells like sh.t."
Read this in an email and thought it was too good not to share-
"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me, as we change it."-- Barack...
Mr Photogenic just like our chocolate male. Those guys love the camera.
Danielle - this is my Pow pup at 2 years old. Looking at Swinger is just like looking at my Pyro at that age. So here's your boy in the future.....

Monday morning, 9:00am CST and final callbacks posted.
Just as Delar said "Find the best sire and dam in the country, get a mating, grab a pup, and go. " We had a really nice breeding and decided to keep a YM & a BF. We let everyone else select their...

I would love to see the outline of that 7 week program if available. We pretty much work on concepts and specific issues with certain dogs. We have one YF that is a cheaty bolt of...
All the above are good. Always remember that "Momma said there'd be days like that." Sometimes you just need to put the dog back on the truck and try tomorrow. Sometimes you need to put yourself...
Ran across this thread and had a chuckle. How quick things change with animals. This thread started in April 2011 and Pyro and Glory were 9 months old and progressing nicely but at different rates....
We have a nice bred MH bitch out of Cosmo and Lean Mac lines. At a recent master test, she had 4 puppies from 3 different sires all pass the test. The weekend before, a litter mate of two of the...
Before Abby got saved and discovered how to sit on honor and not break, the perfect line for her would have been by Kenny Rogers-"You picked a fine time to leave me..................". Had an honor...
We have both and they each have their advantages and shortfalls. You sometimes need an electrical engineering degree to keep the bumper boys working or at least a father-in-law with a lot more...
The best way to learn is by putting your hand down over a dog's head, every time you possibly can. The lessons learned by going to the line and screwing things up are the lessons that will stay with...
Obviously impacted by the order the birds go down, but I have come to the conclusion that I still have a lot to learn about being a better handler. Had pretty much always subscribed and trained to...
I don't think anyone has hit on the first thought that came to my mind when I read the title to this thread. In multiple hunt tests this spring, the marks have been thrown where the dog had to turn...
Great discussion.
I will let you know if our work this week paid dividends. My dog is almost 9 and this has just become a serious issue. And yes he has always been a bit mouthy but has just...
There are already more than 400 dogs qualified for Master National this year. What does that tell us about the knowledge and ability of trainers today.
Fly Predators worked for us. They prey on the larva so adult flys coming from near by locations will not be controlled.
