  11. RSPCA and some MP's want to ban Shock Collars

    in Dogs and Dog Training

    Posted

    The whistle is used for two reasons 1. it carries better and clearer to a dog 2. it disturbs far less game than the human voice especially at volume. The fact that gundogs are not yelled at "stop" , "turn", "come" etc when they are the other side of the field has no reflection on their tractability or understanding of words vocalised or the close relationship. Why is it all shooting and hunting folk don't all get the fact that its bad to ban something you do not fully understand. By the way do you mean FTCh?

    don't need to yell as my dog has been trained not to go too far in front 25 yds max, without a collar , and has for ftch your been picky kind sir .

    Have I corrected my kids? Heck yes! Not with an-e collar but That is all a collar is a correction and unlike so many in this thread I have used one on myself even on full wack! I don't own one now as I don't need one and I might not for many years but if I ever needed one to correct a hard head and they were banned the other solution might well be to PTS

    i must be fortunate then only having to give all of my dogs love and training and not shocks ..

    I don't think it's anything like a stun gun, sorry can't see the comparison, never used an electric collar myself but I can see the sense in what scotslad has wrote

    disagree you should not have to electrocute a dog in any amp or ohm whatsoever personally my dog isn't on the whistle he his on voice command and hand signals, people using other methods of conversing with there dog has obviously no close relationship with them...

    And before any remarks my cocker is not a FTC but a £150.00 undershot not registered dog no one else wanted to take on..

    I've just finished a 84 hr stint 5 mins ago my thoughtfull boss has said I no you finish Monday morning so have Monday off and start Tuesday 7am ???

    Can't complain I'm well regarded I have a job thousands would love to have and the money is great,

    But I do miss shooting I'm having Friday off then it will be another 10 days before I see any fields..

    With no job though you can't shoot.

    I will finish my training course in 3 weeks then it's back on 4 on 6 off "can't wait" !!!!!!

  19. Damn BMW starter motor failed today.

    I thought I had a few pennies spare this month to buy some shooting goodies but the starter motor decided to fail today on my beemer, local indy has quoted £277 supply and fit which I know is a decent price but I am going to do it myself. Any BMW techs on site to let me know if there is anything I need to know?

     

    Apologies, can a mod ship this over to the motoring section please.

    it's not rocket science changing a starter motor, but before starting make sure you can access it ok, without a ramp etc, if not take it somewhere , if you start it and not see it through it will cost u more.

  20. Combi Boiler Install Cost

    in Off Topic

    Posted · Edited by delburt0

    We paid for a £2800 10 yrs ago for a valiant condensing combi, we had it fitted before they where compulsory.

    We did have other work at the time several rads etc.

    Me and my other half have talked about if anything goes in the future to (rent) for a better word.

    We have no plans on moving and several of the big companies are doing new boilers installed for as little as £20.00 a month.

    Not that I cannot afford a new boiler when this goes, but they cover your full central heating system rads, servicing (even though minimal on these systems) when it breaks they fix it,

    The ones we looked at had a contract over 10 yrs with a fixed price..

    So in theory even though it sounds a lot if you get a leaking rad, pcb board goes etc, or anything else then guarantee to fix for free, sounds expensive in the long run but a good piece of mind.
