    Had this problem with an ESS, there are a number of different operations available, all differing in cost, but most are based on having a plastic ring inserted into the joint to keep the thigh and lower leg together. My ESS still works for short periods but his leg is not the same. The standing jump is very bad on Cruciates - the sudden and explosive contraction and then expansion of those muscles in the back legs, can easily rupture the ligaments.

    Then you are left with a great big tree stump to get rid of and try picking that up! simple answer to that, just keep driving the 4x4 down the road, round the first corner then take the chains off.. Do we have to think of everything? Tut!

    Hunter, At the risk of repeating myself, you have a difficult task before you and use all means, treat & praise, to keep the bitch compliant. Obedience is about conditioning the dog to obey without thinking, that's why consistency is so important. EVERY time the dog is given a command, it must comply. When it doesn't, it is immediately taken back to where it disobeyed and made to obey - even if you have to repeat it 100 times! Training a puppy is easier than in your case, because it is a blank canvas. You present job is to undo the bad habits and then impose discipline. Is there

    Desperate times deserve desperate measures. The reasoning behind the suggestion of a rabbit pen is that 1) it is enclosed and secure, 2) There would be immediate distractions for the young bitch and an ideal opportunity to obtain compliance. I said that training is not rocket science but I suppose to some it is.

    By allowing your bitch to run wild for the last 9 months, you have made a difficult task for yourself. In fact you have trained the pup to be disobedient, she knows that despite any recall or pleas to come back to you, for the last 9 months she has been encouraged to ignore them. Training a dog is not rocket science, it is about consistency a degree of firmness and at all times absolute obedience. That is why, in my view, it is a mistake to commence formal training of a pup too early in it's life. Forget electric fences and any ideas of electric collars. Find yourself a secure area, is

    If you are not careful the dog will become a liability and an embarrassment to you and it's down to the total lack of obedience. Forget about retrieving - the dog will already do that. It needs basic obedience training and you need to go back to step 1 and get that obedience instilled before you try and advance any further. You could find it hard going because the you have allowed the dog get away with disobeying you but, depending on how serious you are, you may find it advantageous to consult a professional gundog trainer.

    Dogs will run in if they have not been correctly trained! Once she is returning to you with the retrieve, don't overdo the retrieving training otherwise she will come to expect to retrieve. But by far the most important part of the training is the basic obedience, without that you are on a hiding to nothing, particularly with a wide ranging dog like a pointer. Good luck.
  22. wyeman
    Make sure you carry out retrieving training with only one dog present otherwise there may be jealousy issues. Take the bitch to a fresh piece of ground that she is not used to. After letting her have a short scamper throw the dummy and as soon has the dog picks the dummy up, call her and walk or even run from her, encouraging her all the time. Don't take the dummy off her straight away, but praise and stroke the bitch whilst she still has the dummy in her mouth. You then need to build on this success. In relation to gamefinding, I would be introducing the pups now.

    Stevie, Don't be in too much of a rush to start formal training the pup, let it enjoy it's puppyhood and see you as it's best friend. You will soon know when the pup is ready for training and then it's a consistent regime of black or white. By that I mean, a command given to a pup must always be obeyed, today, tomorrow and the next day. There can be no relaxation in this rule, otherwise you will end up with an example of a dog that 90% of guns/beaters turn up with at a shoot and then spend the rest of the day making excuses for/apologising/being embarrassed about. A well trained obedi
