Hey Guys, It's been way too long since I have been on here but Mojo and I have really made some good strides in the past year and I have been able to get him on a lot of birds this fall. Mojo is now 2.5 years old and he is turning into a really nice hunter. He is consistently able to find the...

So my father in law just got my niece a .243 for her birthday - in the hopes that she will be able to shoot a deer this fall with it. We took it out of the box, set up a target and started dialing it in. The sight of guns and gunshots both get Mojo all excited so he was right there running and...

I recently read a news story that featured this product, it seems neat-- worth passing along. It's a gps collar that your dog would wear and it alerts you if they leave a specified area and can help you find the dog if it becomes lost. $100 and $8 a month is pretty steep, but it is a cool...

Not looking for a big discussion, but I saw this and thought some might be interested http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/mans-best-friend/2011/11/iams-advancements-health-sporting-dog Chuck

I was just reading a WI DNR flyer and I read: Using Dogs During the Fall Season This fall will mark the second fall season that hunters have been allowed to use dogs to hunt wild turkey statewide. This change is the result of a pilot program, initiated in 2007, that allowed the use of dogs to...

Hey Guys, I currently run Mojo with an E-Collar and for this fall's season I'd like to get a beeper so I can find him in the tall grass - especially when he is on point, however I'm not interested in a beeper that is always beeping or a bell always jangling alerting every pheasant to our...

Mojo is coming up on 1 year old here and I have been teaching Woah by at first physically putting him back into the place where I said Woah, and then a treat after I release, but now I want to take his obedience of the command to the next level with increased correction. I have his e-collar on...

Has anyone else had this issue? I got the collar because it has tone, vibrate, and stim as well as a "1 mile" range, every time I even tap the vibrate or tone buttons, they work perfectly, but it might take 10 pushes of the button on continuous stim to have it work. I know its not working in...

I am looking for a source of Pigeons in Madison or the surrounding area. Any ideas? I made a trap - planning to make a couple more, but I'm having trouble finding concentrations of the damn things - aside from going door to door to farms - although thats next! Thanks Chuck

A guy I work with just got an English Setter puppy, but doesn't know the first thing about training it to hunt, etc. At first I assumed Setter=flushing dog, but then I see that "wilson" posted in the puppies section something about puppies pointing. A quick Google search is all over the board...

I took Mojo out this Sunday and got him on a few birds, yesterday I noticed he had a lot of drainage from one eye, I figured he just got poked or irritated, and I took a closer look but couldn't see anything in his eye or anything, so I thought I'd just let it be and it'd be fine. Tonight it...

Hey Guys, I am considering teaching Mojo (My 7 mo old Brittany) to be steady to shot, what goes into that? How do you start, holding him with a check cord and having someone else flush the bird then releasing on the shot? Can I do anything without birds? Could I have him flush the bird...

I am having trouble with the search function, it always comes up "no results" even when I searched for "gun" Might be an issue on my side, but it's worth asking I thought Chuck

I have a 5-1/2 month old Brittany (Mojo) and we have been in the field a couple of times now. I am wondering how much you let a young dog mouth a dead bird. Some have told me to let him play with it so he gets more ands more excited about the birds, but I have also heard the bird should not be...

I recently purchased the NAVHDA dog training book and DVD and in it they show a method of teaching woah on a bench where you basically stand the pup in front of you and hold him with a leash and a hand between his hind legs and slowly hold less saying woah, and resetting him if he moves, and...
