    Chasing issue.

    She just turned a yr old. Shes rock solid when she is on point. I can leave her on point walk to the truck come back and she’ll still be on point. You can touch her do whatever you want and she won’t move an inch. Today. I was working without my 12ga. Bird would shoot up outta the launcher...

    Chasing issue.

    I’m hoping. It took my other shorthair a few yrs to stop chasing. If it wasn’t for hunt tests and helping with some guides I wouldn’t care. But I don’t want her to get shot by the kids.

    Chasing issue.

    So I’ve been working on my pups chasing issues. She will find the bird. Point it. Hold point. I can look for it. She’ll stay on point. As soon as that bird pops up and flies off, she’ll chase it down. I’ve tried every method and nothing is working. At home she’s perfect. She won’t chase. In the...

    It truly is. I had almost the same thing happen to me. Except they didn’t tell me to get my dog. It was like it was ok for the other dog to ruin it. 🤷‍♀️

    So I’m finding when I put her on a check cord. It’s like she thinks we are on a walk and has little drive. If I take her off the check cord. Her drive comes back strong. Her whoa is getting really good. And she’s pointing like a machine. But as soon as that bird shoots up and you’re saying whoa...

    Thanks guys. I know I have to work on her whoa. As she’ll point. And as soon as that bird flies she’s chasing them down. I’ve been told to let her chase. Then I’ve been told not to let her chase. At our next pheasant hunt challenge I’ve signed up for. They deduct points if they chase.

    Well she did awesome. She backed the other dog several times and returned one bird to hand. She found 3 birds total. She only needed 2. Granted. Neither the honor or returning to hand counted. The judges absolutely loved her.

    She does good with retrieving things from the water. She’s even doing good jumping off the dock to go get whatever you’ve thrown. I know they plan to use live quail. I plan on taking her out tomorrow and to see if I can work on her honoring another dog. She was able to find the birds I planted...

    Sorry she’s a gsp. I’m signed up for the jr akc hunt test. I took her out today just to work on recall with no assistance from the e collar. She did great surprisingly. I have trained her to a whistle. I wasn’t sure if that was allowed to use that during the test or not.

    I can definitely do that. I’ll work on as much as I can. And just do a full send.

    I hope it’s ok to post this here. I signed up for a hunt test at the end of the month. My pup just turned 11m old. I’ve never done a hunt test. My pup is in the same boat as me. I’ve talked to the fella who started the group and he’s been super helpful. My fear is. My pup is good here at home...
