Sticky Threads
1st off I am NOT a professional writer so forgive me if I make some mistakes in my typing or accidently leave something out :woww:
Hunting season is here OR is fast approaching so if you haven't started getting ole rover in shape you need to do so!! Before training became my profession, I'd take my dog on walks (mainly for me) OR road him on the 4 wheeler slowly at 1st, I also would start doing SINGLE marks for the him at...
This could be a little lengthy so unless bandwidth isn't a problem we prolly should use this topic for Q&A concerning work! Before doing the T or TT your dog should have been exposed to the 'mini-t' or as some refer to it as 'baseball' the basic hand signals are taught here the next step is...
Well Hunt Test season is here!:banana: So I thought I'd put a check list together for items we might need to compete 1) a slip lead-the dog must be on lead until the judges designate when to take it off 2) whistle and duck call laynard-you have to blow duck call at most test and you need your...

Traditionally training of gundog, or really all, pups start when you fetch the pup at about 7 weeks of age. OK, I buy that. But studies in humans have shown that babies are affected even long before birth by music, stress and other situations that the pregnant mother is exposed to. Many...
I have chocolate lab that flushes great. And she will bring a toy or stick back all day long. The problem i am having is when i shoot a pheasant she will run over to it and pick it up but then drop it. she has brought one back a couple of times. But i would like to know how to get her to do it all...
Are you guys members of the Central Florida Hunting Retriever Club or Northeast Florida HRC? They have training days once a month in the central and northeast part of Florida.
Well my little girl is growing up fast and I have to say I never realized how much I missed training and spending time outside with my black lab I dearly miss. Lucky has filled that void and I have to say she is turing into something pretty special. This weekend Frydaddy was down to do a little...
Well I know SCduckman will be proud. We had some friends up on Sunday for a little training in the morning. Some good friends from United Waterfowlers Fl came up and we had a little fun at my property. Here are a few pictures I got fomr Jimmy AKA Nosoypoto on UW-F forum.
Any day with the dogs is good but they make it all worth the time and effort when they perform like you want them to. We had a club trial yesterday and both my pups took home ribbons. Skyler smoked'em in Gold for 1st place and Storm got a JAM in her class. ...
Okay I got a quick question and I am pretty sure on the answer but I was wondering if there was a better way not real sure but we will see. Lucky is either ignoring me when I call to test me or she is still just a pup type thing but, when I have her attention she is doing great but when walking...
Does anyone have any resources (books, vidoes, websites, mags, etc.) that they'd recommend for training a gun dog? I'm in the process of acquiring a labrador puppy, this will be my first gun dog and I've always heard that you ruin your first one. I'd like to minimize the damage as much as...
Man did we have a LARGE time yesterday. Avery and my home club, Charleston Retriever club had a training day yesterday. Had 34 handlers and about 45 dogs. Ran dogs till noon then had a big lunch and went back for water training in the afternoon. We had everything from HRCH dog to 8 week old...
Carolina Duckman I was sorry to hear that you lost one of your labs this week. She was a special dog i know. I can feel for you brother. I had to put mine to sleep going on 3 years ago and they are truly like children and it is hard to take no matter what. You have two unbelievable labs though that...
Here are some things I have been able to figure out over the years. Pups can be started in Training as soon as you bring them home @ 7 weeks of age. I give out this information to ALL New Puppy Owners that we have buy pups from Creamlevel Creek Kennels. The part I really like about this...
I took my boys out to pick of some pheasants this weekend at one of our tower shoots. Overall it worked out good except for a few minor confrontations between the two of them. Buck waiting for some birds. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d146/ar9mm/Buck.jpg Buck still waiting and Eddie...
I picked up a new family member last weekend and I brought him home today to spend some time with the family he has been over visiting a girlfriend for the past week. He was a little camera shy today as my other labs were running around like crazy chasing the kids. I had a chance to get this yellow...
Just mentioning this.

i was given a new dog in august. he is an 8 yo blm. from what i understand, the dog has had some good training. i am not sure how much work the dog has had in the last 8 years. my problem is, the dog will not release on a blind retrieve. example, my cousins daughter shot a gadwall drake...

Anybody taking their dogs on their FIRST full season this year ? ? ? It is always great to get started with a new dog. Who's Got A New One ? ? ?
Just wondering if everyone has had your dogs out, and working for the last month, preparing for the season. Need to keep a close eye on dogs that are out working the Dove Season, it doesn't take but a second for them to over heat, and be in major trouble. cooter The Over Heating Of Dogs Now...
