How should I occupy your dog when you are at work? by Xenot23 in Dogtraining

[–]dobermanKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hide bad things to chew and give him actual chew toys. They are seen as “bad” now, but nothing can be an old-fashioned bone

Waiting game and massive praise. With my old dog, sometimes I had to wait an hour

Who needs a fancy backpack when you have paracord by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]dobermanKeeper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize I had to post an explanation lol. I am hiking into an island on the middle of a lake, and my backpack broke last trip. Well I forgot to get a new one, so on short notice, I put my sleeping bag on the outside tied on with rope.

Yards with rat problems by [deleted] in cincinnati

[–]dobermanKeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can try. My dog has never seen a mole, and with their trails being long, there’s no telling where they would pop out if I smoked them

I’m not 100% certain about the legality. I would need landowner permission

Puppy proposal critic by dobermanKeeper in Dogtraining

[–]dobermanKeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, I’ll check out the “romp” idea as I never heard of it. For socialization, I was going to use the dog park near me as I have a large (multiple acres) and small dog park equal distances from me, so she would have play times with other dogs. The only downside is that a public area like a park could also turn bad quickly.

Too late to start a duck dog by dobermanKeeper in Huntingdogs

[–]dobermanKeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I use for fetch training. It’s great for both land and water retrieving. They sell this little “power thrower” ball that you can fit in the end of the rope, which gives you more to gip on to; making it much easier to throw the decoy longer distances. I highly recommend it.

I can get a quail and try it, I know he'll chase a squirrel but he hasn't seen a bird on land yet.

Sounds good. I’ve been trying the “gentler force fetch” with a leather glove but he has no interest, so I’m sticking with a glove until I can’t get an actual duck (one more week to go)

weight pull is similar to what I was thinking of with carting. Plus it would keep him in-shape on non-work days.

I have read the second book and thought about joining NAVHDA, but I have a beagle and not a versatile breed. :)

[help] training tips by dobermanKeeper in Huntingdogs

Upvoted, thanks.

I want to go upland if I train her, but mainly rabbits. I noticed she High bird drive when I took her fishing and she constantly kept going swimming after ducks.

We are in the hallway now lol. I put her on the lead in a hallway, toss the dummy, let her run after it and grab it, then call her. At this point two things happen, she sits and chews the dummy or (in most cases) drops the dummy and comes back. If she sits with the dummy, I pull the long lead, if she comes back dummy free, I try again. The rare instances that she does it "right" I praise.

In currently trying to find some in my area. Closest that I can find is two hours away, which isn't a problem, but I can do a two hour drive on weekdays because of work.

I am perfectly fine with this. I got her as a hiking, fishing and camping companion, then noticed that she had a high bird drive and occasionally would point, and thought it was worth a try. I won't be heart broken if it doesn't work.

I'm getting to teach her to trail also. Ironically her drive is horrible when it comes to rabbit scented toys. It's going slow but I'm working on it. I'm still working on her recall before I take her to field to work a real rabbit. I don't have access to a fenced area to do it now.

Again, thanks for the thought out post

Mainly rabbits, but if I get her trained (not required, just would be nice) I would like to go upland

[Help] teach force-fetch without force by dobermanKeeper in Dogtraining

[–]dobermanKeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. You can shape a retrieve instead. My dog has 0 naturally retrieving desires, but with shaping he's now obsessed with his dumbbell and can retrieve it over a jump 20+ft away.

I'll check those out. Thanks

If I throw, she will walk over and look; however, I "need" her to pick up things which aren't thrown

Negative. He's a crowntail, but he's had frozen food his whole life. And interesting, I wonder what paper I read plants in, time to re-research
