That seems to insinuate that one who choses to move on when it becomes apparent that a dog doesn't have the ability to achieve the desired level of performance is less of a trainer. That would...

Call Ray Shanks, Brad Arrington, Stephen Durrance or Keith Farmer. Any of them will likely be able to point you in the right direction. You can google Swamp Run retrievers, Tremblin Earth...

I don't judge any more, but when I did, there were a couple of professional trainers that I didn't particularly enjoy dealing with.

In my opinion, the reason most creeping "solutions" don't work very well is we are trying to stop forward movement or enforce a solid sit. We are trying to RESTRAIN the dogs tendency to move forward....

I spent some time with Saber this weekend and in addition to being exceptionally talented, he's just a really cool dog. Great personality and very easygoing in the house. And his owner is a super...

Just curious. Do you do cow pie drills with every dog or just the ones that show they need them? I'm assuming cow pie drill as synonym for dirt clod drill.
Thanks

One would think that cheating singles would be a good place to start.

Saw him a couple of months ago down in Niland. Very nice-looking dog and if he's 75 pounds, it's a BIG 75 pounds. Seemed to have a very nice personality and his record is pretty impressive. Some...

I resisted watching his show for a long time because of the name. Assumed it was just another new age cookie trainer with an angle. Started watching a few years ago and was very impressed. He...

Congratulations!

The people who attend Elton John concerts don't tend to fit the "thug life" demographic. ;-)

I find it strange that with all the real problems that this country has due to liberal ideas and policies, my side (supposedly) wastes time and effort trying to dictate what others chose to do with...

That is true, but not sure what that has to do with my point. Perhaps I should use a different example. Like the link between defined spots and stoning disease in Dalmatians. Or the link between...

I think the two breedings between Maxx and John Darling's Dust Devil's Desert Duk could be classified as epic. Produced some pretty nice dogs, many of whom have been producers themselves. And she...

Is there a possibility that there is a link between the genes that cause EIC and performance? Sure seems like many of the all-time greats were EIC carriers. Maybe coincidence, maybe not.

We wash our stainless trailers inside and out weekly with Simple Green. The 2008 Deerskin I tow looks like new. Not sure how it works on really dingy stuff, because ours never really get that dirty...

I was looking forward to the show, but after a couple of episodes, I'm very disappointed. A bunch of unprofessional knuckleheads making millions off government contracts. I realize it's reality TV...

I had one in training last summer that is primarily an upland dog, but he did single marks surprisingly well. Went hard, ran straight and marked well. He came to me because his owner was having...

Very true. Not every slinky dog is that way because he was abused. Some dogs are just slinky.
On the other hand, if every dog on the truck is slinky........

As a professional trainer, I hesitate to post on this thread, but what the heck. Years ago when I was just getting started, I used a pro for a short period of time. I didn't do my homework and had...

So a dog with solid line manners is a pig? Who knew?

I've seen some big Grady pups and some small ones. I have three on my truck right now out of the same litter. The dam is an average sized female. The male on my truck is very tall and lanky, one...

Are there more deaths per capita due to gun violence now than there were in say 1873, 1927 or 1957?

Depending on where in North FL you are located and whether you want to do Hunt Tests or Field Trials, there are plenty of clubs to contact. In Jacksonville is the Northeast FL Hunting Retriever Club...
