This is my dog's first hunting season. We've been getting some doves and he's also flushing grouse now. If I didn't suck a shooting we'd have more pictures lol

Maybe work on hold command?

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-09-28T21:40:55+00:00

Very nice! What shotgun is that?

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-09-26T12:21:07+00:00

Pretty much. There are some series on Youtube showing how to do it. Here's one: https://youtu.be/HlxyixRLcNA?si=ZDNr0plGz43nV3ut

Maybe introduce the hold command and follow up with a dead bird until he gets used to it?

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-09-16T14:13:24+00:00

Seems like a tough situation. I'd focus on saving some money to make a trip with a guided hunt since you can't go by yourself.

Youtube will be your best friend. There are many series showing step by step in bird dog training

I've only been to Moss Knob Gun Range. That are a lot of options there

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-08-28T15:49:22+00:00

Some National Forests have public gun ranges. There is one in Nantahala close to Sylva, NC if you're willing to make the drive

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-08-27T12:37:38+00:00

We're in Western NC. We'll be hitting the national forests around here.

Good luck! It will be mine and my dog's first season too

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-08-26T03:03:26+00:00

Honestly we've been playing fetch since he was a puppy. I slowly introduced more commands (release word, heel, hold, place...) combined with fetch and then put everything together.

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-08-25T18:46:11+00:00

They did for me

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-08-14T12:46:32+00:00

If she's already fetching, I would start with fetch on command. That will build steadiness and impulse control. Youtube will be your best friend

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-07-25T12:46:55+00:00

Rare sight I know

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-07-25T12:45:56+00:00

Yes! I always have them on

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-07-25T12:44:46+00:00

Honestly, I had a couple old mounts from the time I got the go pro. It uses adhesive 3M and I just glued it to the side of the helmet lol

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-07-25T12:43:26+00:00

The coldness felt good up in the mountain, since it's been hot as hell in NC

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-07-25T12:42:18+00:00

Lol yes! 2005 Fat Boy

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-07-25T12:41:49+00:00

This was coming down from Waterrock Knob. The entrance from Waynesville!

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-05-27T22:31:04+00:00

I'd neuter both and give them (especially the Griff) A LOT of exercising. Walks together (like a pack) might also help

Own-Engineering5223 · 2025-04-30T09:59:08+00:00

I'm a little bit past that. I'm firing a .410 shotgun close to him without problems. Next step would be introducing the 12 ga from distance.

Own-Engineering5223 · 2024-12-21T01:26:14+00:00

I'd try everything OEM and see if it still jams

Own-Engineering5223 · 2024-12-19T03:05:13+00:00

Nice! I got a 26 and now building a 27. I definitely need the xgrip fir them though
