Last woodcock of the year. These strange looking and yet fascinating birds have helped forge wild bird hunting skills for so many gun dogs. Young or old Flushers and pointers tend to find these polite game birds more frequently. Allowing more repetitions for the handler and dog to communicate under non clinical environments. The fact that they are neither easy or hard birds to hunt means a handler has more time and ability to observe their dog during the contact with a wild bird. The more contacts that result in the correct behavior from both the handler and dog the more effective the team.

This young Grouse was not much smaller than the Little Munster that locked in a point allowing a lay up shot for her first grouse. Understandably she wanted to carry it for a while.

Dogs naturally learn from observing their peers. The chain gang or cable gang method leverages this by promoting observational learning, helping your pup pick up on general concepts faster. These concepts include learning to be calm and quiet in order to be rewarded with movement in the field, submitting to the pressure of a lead, confidence in how to react to new stimuli, and so much more. If you use a cable or chain gang what are some benefits you appreciate most?

It's hard to think about the hunting season if you are preparing for the upcoming fall NAVHDA, JGHV, or VDD-GNA tests. SO much energy and time has gone into preparing for the big day and the test dates are drawing closer. Whether it's your first time through a test or you are a seasoned handler the preparation process ensures you are consistently working with your dog. Regardless of the outcome you and your dog are a much more effective team at the conclusion of the test than if you had not participated in the process.

If you are considering or already have one of the versatile hunting breeds you may want to think about becoming a member of a hunting dog group. It can be worth far more than the membership dues you pay.

Grouse and woodcock season is right around the corner. Taking advantage of scouting opportunities prior to the opener can increase your odds at locating spots that will produce. Look for Food, water, and shelter areas that are relatively close and easy for birds to gain access. Then find the transitions between those areas. Putting in a little boot leather time with your favorite furry hunting buddy will pay big dividends when you head out on opening day. Make sure preseason training is allowed in your area first!

If you're in the market for a versatile gun dog, here are 3 tips to help you choose the perfect companion for your next hunt:

Look for a breed with a strong natural instinct for both pointing and retrieving, or flushing and retrieving, depending on your hunting style.

Consider the dog's temperament and trainability. A good gun dog needs to be intelligent, obedient, and willing to work.

Look for a dog with good health and stamina. A hunting dog needs to be able to endure long days in the field and must be free from any major health issues.

Remember, a good gun dog is not only an investment in your hunting experience but also in your overall enjoyment of life with your furry friend.

Hey everyone! If you're a new puppy owner, don't forget the importance of socialization for your furry friend! Exposing your puppy to different environments, people, and other animals early on can help prevent behavioral problems later in life. So take your pup on walks, invite friends and family over, and enroll in puppy socialization classes! Trust me, it'll make a huge difference in their development and happiness. 🐾

Hey gun dog parents! If you have an older dog, you may have noticed that it takes them a bit longer to get into shape. Just like humans, as our dogs age, their bodies may not bounce back as quickly as they used to. That's why it's important to give them extra time and patience as they work to regain their strength and endurance. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!
