Here are a few pics from a training session yesterday:

Lining for the launched bird.

We love our frozen ducks...

Lining for the launched dummy.

A job well done.


Hope you enjoyed!

Loved the pics & now you're going to think I'm a B**ch! Have you ever watched the Rorem handling DVDs? They are great for making you aware of having the dog properly aligned.

Miriam-

I don't think you're a b**ch, I'm always open to constructive criticism .

I noticed that when I got the pics back, too. I think a lot of it has to do with the angle that the pics were taken.

Her body is actually lined properly with mine, but it was VERY windy that day, and the bumper was being blown off-line, so her head is a bit off and I'm trying to extend her marking distance. So, I'm less concerned with her being lined properly for a mark right now as I am her actually marking it accurately.

She's also just a hunting dog...not so much a test dog. If she's marking and picking up birds, that's fine by me. But, I will look into those DVDs. My next dog will be a test dog, so I'll have to make sure I'm doing it correctly, right? Thanks for the suggestion!

Watch the launcher over his head

Very nice Pics.....but watch how close you use them launchers over the dogs head....can cause deafness quickly.

Good Luck with your pup.

Nice pics -- also agree with Gar -- watch how close you are to launchers
