  2. Hi

     

    I joined NOBs as it also included insurance for when I am out beating. I also follow them on twitter and have seen a few ads for beating work.

     

    The best way to get work is to ask,ask and ask again through contacting gun, gundog clubs etc which Is what I did along with looking on gunsonpegs.com.

     

    I know beat on two shoots and through that got another offer today.

     

    Thanks

  3. It's deff mentaly stimulation you need to keep a dog calm.

     

    With regards to training to a beating and picking up standard my dogs fine at beating and flushing game however having problems with his delivery.

     

    I would recommend a few gundog training lessons and google gundog trainers in the north east and give them a call. They will give you a clear training plan etc but any questions if I can help I will.

     

    A working dog is a happy dog which results in a happy owner so give it time and patience and you and your Lab will get there

     

    Good luck

  4. Hi

     

    I understand why people pay to shoot game I work on a shoot and we've discussed as part of our syndicate to offer vermin shooting g to members/friends in the closed season and thought this idea could work.

     

    I understand how protective people are over their permission and like wise I would but land is getting less and less and to keep this sport alive and introduce the younger generation this would be ideal for air gunners.

     

    I guess I am different than some folk and my views are just my own and not degrading to others.

  5. Hi

     

    Have you tried any gundog trainers?

     

    I've got a 1 yr old springer who was a typical springer to say the least however once I started training him and working him he calmed down loads. It sounds like your Lab needs to do what a lab is bred for and that is to work and with it been so hyper is most probs down to been bored hence its selective hearing as gets attention if it ignores you as appose to attention for a good retrieve etc,

     

    Do you work your Lab etc.

     

    Thanks

  6. Hello and welcome mate ,good luck finding somewhere to shoot

     

    Forgot to say mate that I'm having a meet up with him on my permission so he can shoot till he is sick as I'll probably leave him to ferret some sets :victory:

     

    Can't wait like, we still on for the 22nd?

     

    Cheers pal

  7. While your waiting for a proffesional trainer.Sit in the living room,treats in one hand, dummy in the other.Dog in front of you.Get the dog to hold the dummy and then exchange for a treat.Even if the dog has the dummy for one second in its mouth give it a treat.Just do a few mins everyday and work on duration.Don,t react or get cross in any way.Once you are both confident ,take the dog out side and keep him on a lead and do the same.See if he will walk by your side with the dummy in his mouth and always reward with food when he gives it to you.This will take about 2 weeks to get to this level.

    Hi

     

    That's great will get to work on this however have read not to use treats as the dog may give up on a retrieve opting to come back for the treat?

  8. Hi

     

    I am brand new to hunting/shooting and will be doing some vermin shooting soon thanks to a member who has invited me along to his land however would also like to get involved more with the whole hunting/shooting lifestyle and was wondering if anyone required any help with game keeping, beating etc.

     

    I am a total novice but very keen, willing to learn, hard working 34 yr old married man with 1 daughter and ESS dog Cass.

     

    I am based in the north east

     

    Cheers
