    Exactly Thats not the point here trying to keep a tidy methodical reliable dog is, if never seen a dog distro brush ive seen plenty of dogs duck and dive and jump stuff driving game from bramble patches and the like. Think your starting to miss the point about getting the dog to do as you need.. plenty of game sits in tight and as a dogs brain is a third devoted to its nose it can get distracted by other scents if a dog doesn't cover an entire length of hedge row something may be missed and for me being as efficient as possible is important as well as all this dog having fun and the l

    that's not the way to go at all you really think forcing the dog to hear multiple shots that its already scared of is good advice.. To my mind that's like putting a child in front of a horror film on repeat and having the mentality of ohh they'll get used to it... Makes no sense to me

    You dont rely on a dog day to day to do your job then? Just letting your dog go in game invested ground is not a method of training... Working a dog is not a walk in the park

    Unruly dogs in general are a no go..

    Try doing it the other way round let her have freedom at the start and a bit of a scamper then do your 10 - 15 minutes

    If you feel your not getting any good from a lesson then it might be worth trying to end the session on a good note and then call it a day. Out of interest how long do you tend to make sessions?

    Sounds like you have laid down firm signals! so would put it down to age and experience. its a fine line of how many times to give a command before they will bet bored and start to ignore your commands. If you think that's happening call them to heel and restart the command.

    Gun shy.. or gun nervous? the two are different. if its gun shy then not much will correct it and 12 months to correct a working dog is impractical in my opinion. Gun nervousness can be cured but stop using the shotgun, start with a starting pistol or similar with the help of an assistant, using open ground start 300-400 yards away and let off a shot if any reaction at all treat and reassure once there is little or no reaction slowly decrease the distance.. then start again at distance with the shotgun and repeat the process, It is difficult to asses which it is but gun shyness in inherent

    a person is a bit more than a dog to me..... not saying im cruel to animals but two separate issues there lads, im trying to protect our country from thugs and criminals seems my way and your way are different

    I wasn't directing the what do you do at you it was at weasle but he seems to have shied away now,
  14. Duncan_642
    ohh yeah i forgot killing people is legal over the water isnt it!
  15. Duncan_642
    what do you do then wealse i was forthcoming in telling you?
  16. Duncan_642
    OK jigsaw that's your call how you deal with your own issue but openly admitting your going to shot someone on an open forum is a bit silly especially as your fellow member weasle has concerns im a police officer.. you could try be subtle?!
  17. Duncan_642
    you think the police would waste there time commenting on this thread! There's no need to be so defensive over someone having an opinion. What do you do for a living?
  18. Duncan_642
    for a living.. well I am a mechanic by trade with a HGV licence Experience in building Time in the armed forces, Part time game Keeper and Farmhand casual worker Not that that has anything to do with this
  19. Duncan_642
    non of you have to swear or be rude or aggressive via an internet forum surely i am allowed an opinion of my own.. one that should be valued as much as yours.. i haven't been aggressive towards any of you so why be hostile?
  20. Duncan_642
    No the difference is id rather not have a load of hassle that's not needed.... this is an open forum and my guess would be monitored Im as much keen on hunting as any true hunters on here. Just with more sense than others it seems
  21. Duncan_642
    what a shame
  22. Duncan_642
    what a choice of replies?.... sorry for being a law abiding citizen...
  23. Duncan_642
    Why talk in tongues about criminal actions you feel are necessary its your type that ill have to thank when i cant even fart without needing a license... Move your dogs there are always options violence is never a justified course of action..
  24. Duncan_642
    Where abouts are you you in plymouth I am just up the road? Whats are your hunting interests? D
  25. Duncan_642
    Ok so you agree with some of the comments on here relating to physical violence? Rigging a shotgun to a trip wire... Sounds stupid to me... Im not siding with anyone but being objective about the solution to your problem
