Lmao at 6:15 "pigeon be gone!". Great information as usual.

Excellent... My 2 1/2 yr old GSP Bruno gets a little anxious in the early season. I will utilize this method starting today to calm him. I will also be in the market for a female for him soon. I will reach out to you at that time to see if you have any. Thanks guy's...

Great video! My pup regressed throughout this season with holding point. She started off the season holding point briefly and even waiting for me on occasion. Since she was just over a year, I assumed this was good enough for shooting. I think I may have actually taught her that breaking point was the goal. Now she’ll let me know when a bird is close (and even point) but gets anxious quickly and starts speeding around to flush the bird. I’m worried I’ve really messed up! Is there anything I can do to get her back on track?

What do I do if I didn't have nearly as many birds? Cowboy is collar condition on the belly. Holds with the release of birds. But have never stopped him with birds. That will be my next step, but I only have a couple of birds. Don't have room for more. Any suggestions? Will you be doing the next step soon?

Dear I have GSP 16 months old who does not stop at point please advise what to do?

[RyanVogel-ie]

My dog wants to sit when stimulation is applied to the belly collar. How do I stop this?

I don't know how it's in the US, but here in Norway the dog has to point - flush the bird - and stand still when the bird takes off. Do you see any effect on the flushing part (especially speed/no hesitance) using your methods? Young pups are allowed to run for 10 meters before having to stand still in order for them to get a fast flush, as they get older the distance after flush is minimized.

When you were teaching your dog not to pull while walking what kind of leash did you use behind the ears to over the snout?

[patricelapointe]

You say you shot a lot of birds over this dog but he is not steady to wings yet. I thought we should wait until the dog is steady before to hunt. I thought its unsafe to shoot over an unsteady dog. I think Im confused now. When you took him hunting, was he not remaining still untill the bird is shot?

sorry to ask, but never seen a "belly collar" is it round his belly VS round his neck...what are the pros and cons etc...again excuse my ignorance ....guy from the UK
