We’re looking for recommendations for a new solid and durable ID collar. The old one is from Carhartt and has broken down a little too far. Photo for attention 😎

My gsp puppy refuses to drop anything out of her mouth. Random pieces of trash, shoes rocks, sticks, exc for example. When I'm working that bird drive and giving her pigeons she will not let that thing go even when it's Christmas morning and I have another bird in my hand. She takes off and tries to hide. I try to eventually take it out if her mouth but we are talking about like 5 minutes later. I've raised alot of labs and im so use to the love of the retrieve. What do I do? Im sorry I probably sound like I have so many problems but GSP pups are another animal lol

I get asked every week: 'Is the BGD course worth $500?' Here's my answer: if you hunt behind your dog and you want him reliable when it counts, yes. Classroom tab.

We filmed it in July — five modules, a 30-day daily protocol with drill sheets, and an opening day simulation at the end. It's called 30 day Pre-season Protocol and it launches September 1. $149. Drop 'in' below if you want the link when it goes live.

Water retrieves break down for one reason almost every time: the dog doesn't trust the line to the bird. The fix is simple, shorter marks first. Get him driving confidently to 20-yard marks before you push to 40. Confidence is built on success, not repetition of failure.
