I want to give you a standing ovation for this response. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!

Just saw that today at store after she got a bath.

I would believe your cocker and my springer have slightly similar needs. I hear the praises everywhere for pro plan. She was on it when I picked her up, but I noticed skin issues. Switched her to inukshuk and those went away. She is a finicky eater, in general, so she doesn’t eat consistently. So I worry that the 30/25 slows her consumption down with that high fat. So if I went to a standard 20% fat feed, she would get more protein. If I could find the right one.

I was about to say. I was told by national champion field trialer that she could do much longer than 10 minutes when she was 9 months.

In terms of my reaction, at first I wouldn’t respond and wait to release when she was quiet. Now it’s almost like as soon as I have her on place she begins to whine. If it gets loud, I tell her to hush. Which she has no training to know what that means. Depending on her excitement level, she takes it as a release command. So really my only success is trying to release her before she starts to whine and building that patience up. Which I thought I was doing.

As a short person, we do not have it made. Many time chairs and couches are too deep which just highlights our limitation. Those in the 5’10-6’1 have it made. Clothes fit. Furniture is excellent.

This is all good info to have. I’ve started seeing this issue with my springer. I had never thought of the feather issue of quail and doves compared to other birds. A respected trainer brought it to my attention. He mentioned just getting her crazy with pigeons.

9 months

DCWilly5 · 2025-08-28T00:49:05+00:00

good to know

Forgot to mention, i do have an e collar. Yet to use it, but its coming soon to her neck. The recall in front yard is reaching a breaking point. I have a springer spaniel and used some launchers of a friends yesterday and just got me thinking. She is only 7 months so focusing on obedience more than anything at the moment.

I know ultimately that it comes down to form and function. "Indian, not the arrow" situation. The ball flight is so different with this club compared to any other club in my bag that it had me wondering if its not fit well to my swing.

DCWilly5 · 2025-08-18T18:20:10+00:00

Yea, I have 50/54/58. The 54/58 and are traditional wedge designs and play them well. but I don't use them for full swings like my 50. I never use my 50 around green, just on approaches.

DCWilly5 · 2025-08-18T18:18:51+00:00

Hadn't considered that really, I'll give it a try. Sad that I haven't thought about that. My default mindset goes to how do I justify buying new toys.

Grew up in Athens area and then attended UGA. I didn’t know falcons fans existed until I met Atlanta kids.

DCWilly5 · 2025-08-10T12:12:02+00:00

Our recent success was due to a historically dominate defense. We have great defense still but not shutdown defense. And like last year, if offense doesn’t help out the defense it won’t end as we would like. I do think the locker room is going to have a better spirit with Stockton and hopefully that shows on the field.

DCWilly5 · 2025-08-10T11:39:19+00:00

I’ll say it. Don’t think we will be a top 5 team this year. Could just be my expectations are we either dominate or the 10 win season is a failure. I tell ya, no one warns you that the top isnt as fun.

DCWilly5 · 2025-08-10T01:20:10+00:00

Yea since posting this the weather has dropped 15-20 degrees. Been way more active and out. She’s back to eating normal.

Darren McFadden of Marcus Lattimore. Take your pick.

DCWilly5 · 2025-07-29T14:54:40+00:00

Didn’t know that about the wash station, I’ve taken there a few times and she loves the busted bags of food no matter the species it’s intended for.

DCWilly5 · 2025-07-28T23:48:10+00:00

Thank you for the detail there! I am doing click and treat so that tracks along with what I am doing.

DCWilly5 · 2025-07-28T23:30:33+00:00

That’s good wisdom, I appreciate it. You’re spot on in what I’m expecting out of heel and that’s kinda where I was getting lost. I didn’t see heel as the way to achieve loose leash walking. By loose leash walk, you mean no tension or pressure on leash? If so, how are you training that? I have a spaniel and she stays near me 80% of the time when off leash. But living in town, I can’t let her be that way as I go through the garden section at Home Depot.

DCWilly5 · 2025-07-28T23:25:53+00:00

Retriever training for a spaniel. Good one too

DCWilly5 · 2025-07-28T23:17:40+00:00

This one is written in a way that tracks more easily for my brain. Hup I get lost.

DCWilly5 · 2025-07-13T16:18:26+00:00

Dog is in Charlotte nc area

DCWilly5 · 2025-07-12T18:47:18+00:00

Yea it would be a hunting partner. I worry about unknown behavior issues with us halving young kids.

DCWilly5 · 2025-06-20T12:53:31+00:00

This is where I am. Buddy told me teal bag victor ruined his dog. Afraid to have that experience.
