Thanks all. Yea 99% of birds here are pen raised. I don’t mind spending the $$ just didn’t want to mess him up more then he is lol

Thanks Remy I appreciate the advice

Last year as a 10 month old he pointed amazing. He was great at it. This year not so much

Yea that’s all we really have near me. I e been buying chukars and putting them out Amy moms farm. In fact taking him tomorrow with a couple birds to do some work

Remy Thanks. I am from SE Pa so there are no real wild pheasant here. Me I hunt stocked birds and I do like to hunt as much as I can but am not what I’d call a hardcore bird hunter. What I want to do is take my son and dad out to a preserve and hunt birds and have a good time. I enjoy watching...

He does have a FF table but I have not seen him use it personally. I know he says he does ear pinch. I will definately ask. I’d really like to learn this stuff myself as I really enjoy watching the dog I’m just completely clueless with hunting dog training. Hence me asking questions here. What...

So I wanted fetch. He was there for 2 months total. He pointed well but wouldn’t retrieve so all I really wanted was retrieve. Everything kinda went from there. I think a lot of the issues I face is I’m from Pa. not a whole lot of hunting dog trainers in eastern Pa

Thank u

I appreciate that. Yea I will talk with him for sure. I love watching this dog work birds. I don’t care to even shoot them but man dogs are amazing to watch!!! I agree I don’t want to mess him up and maybe I’m trying too hard and will mess him up in the long run. Thanks I actually needed to hear...

Correct he will. I myself am just trying to learn how to do this myself so hopefully in the future I can learn to prep my dogs myself

Open Ranger Thank u. Yes it was around mid day. It was humid also. This is my 1st pup so I know I’m the issue and appreciate u offering the advice. Yesterday I was cutting him loose. I sent him into the wind so wind headed towards his nose. That said he did move side to side. I assume now...

Trainer ended up with covid so we got dog out of there. He said to send him back after he has recovered.

Thank u.

Well Dakota is back. Still not 100% with retrieve but better. Issue I have now is he’s not pointing birds til he’s on top of them. Any help

So I have a 1 year old GSP. Last year he pointed great but wouldn’t retrieve. I sent him away to get his retrieve down now it seems like he won’t point. Literally by the time he stops he’s standing on top of the bird. I’m a new bird dog owner so I’m looking for advice on what to do to get him to...

I just meant I don’t need a dog to be a master hunter or anything like that. My friend takes his dogs there and competes to get the title for them. That’s what I meant by not needing a navdha dog. He dosent need to be a master hunter in my eyes. I do understand though they know what to do. They...

Oh and yes I agree and actually take my dad and son and they shoot. I don’t need to shoot ai love watching the dog!!! I am going to focus more and keep trying to learn as much as I can

Yea so the guy I bought the dog from”trained” him originally. So he said just hunt him. Well he wouldn’t retrieve and now I’m in this mess. That said I am not a hard core hunter. I don’t need a NAVDHA dog as I’m literally a weekend warrior. That said I want a hunting partner not a tool. I agree...

Sorry guys Dakota is still there I’m roughing it out a little longer. So I’m being told he’s great with obedience and steady to shot now. Retrieving is still a issue. He’s trying to force break him but starts his hunts in a week and a half so not sure if it’ll get done or not. Guy was focused on...

No need to apologize I had to call to ask myself. I’m new to all this
