So he is being crate trained then goes into the kennels.

So he’s been through 4 weeks of training when he was 8 months old basic point holding point to flush with a different guy I wasn’t pleased with so he Dakota has some bird experience already just not what I’d like. By no means am I looking for a perfect dog here. Want to do chukar challenges and...

So 1st 2 weeks will strictly be obedience. Then remainder he wants to get him steady and possibly help with retrieving. So he will start with pigeons in traps. Will get point and teach steady to shot. After that he may plant chukars and shoot them over him to see about retrieval. I pay for...

So I think there’s 2 other dogs in for hunting training right now. His thing is when they can’t be watched they’re crated so there’s not a dog fight that can’t be stopped. He has a fenced yard they all go run around in together. Dakota is not crate trained so maybe that is part of it also??

^^^ awesome congrats to u guys. Yea part that bothered me was keeping him in a crate. Guy said it’s for the dogs safety as he’s got other dogs for training so I get it. But not something Dakota is use to. Him being alone I hope it helps with his separation anxiety

Well guys took longer to get him there then was planned. Dropped him off today. Wow I feel terrible!!! So he will be crated but gets out for hours throughout the day plus training. This may be good for him because he’s not used to being crated but man it broke my heart. Anyways 6 weeks he will...

If I used it for punishment I didn’t intentionally for sure. So he knew come. He would come then stopped. With collar on. I’d say come and beep him. If he did not respond I’d say come if no response he’d get a nick. I’m not saying I know much about collars but I assume this is wrong?

Ok Thanks yea I’ve owned dogs my whole life including my rotti now and he listens no problem at all. This one wow he’s a whole different story. It’s funny in the house he listens well outside forget it. I’ll keep pushing Thanks

So how do I enforce it when he has no collar on? Like if he’s outside not training at all and I say Come and he doesn’t listen? Thanks

Yea being a first time gun dog owner I’m sure it’s me more then him. Having someone who knows the dog help I believe will do wonders. He’s a handful but I love the little guy.

I stopped talking to the breeder as he actually trained him and shocked him for being hardmouthed. That’s why I’m in this mess sadly

I looked at navhda near me. They go all over. One of there places was actually where Dakota is going to be trained at. Yea I’m hoping it’s a easy fix because I loved hunting over him even at 10 months old he got 54 birds. Being a weekend warrior pretty much I just want a dog who finds birds and...

No they didn’t seem to be. So I bought them from a hunting breeder my buddy got his from. Now I’m no dog trainer but man never had a issue getting a dog to listen u til this one. Super hyper. Like I said he has separation anxiety to the point the bites me when I leave. He’s got a great...

Oh also have 3 black kings we freeze dog food in them to keep him entertained

Yep 1st gsp. I have a rotti too. Yea knew they were hyper too. This one is diagnosed as a 10/10 with separation anxiety by vet behaviorist who has him on trazadone which helps but he’s still a handful. We have a fenced yard he can go in all day and we take him to local gamelands to run nightly...

Well mine just started chewing shoes after a year old so I’m ready for him to go for a while lol. Not sure what this dogs issue is anymore

Oh man 3 months may kill me away from my dog!!! Yea guy says when we go up he will come up with a game plan for us. I love hunting over this dog. He’s not perfect and I’m ok with that. I appreciate all the info had no idea these hunting dogs had so much time vested!! This one is a handful too...

No reason to apologize this is why I asked. The new guy is a guy I meant at a hunt. My dad trained K9s so he knows about trainers and said this guy knows his stuff. I don’t know much about hunting dogs. This guy owns a hunting preserve and trains for a living. He’s amazing with my dog when we go...

Bottom pic u can see how he grabs feathers and wing to try to carry

Thanks guys. Dakota was at a 2 week on 2 week off training for a month for basic hunting at another place and guy didn’t do too good with him. He does hunt well. He points but will run up to bird and grab a couple feathers or try to carry by the wing. Not sure why he did this but at time he was...
