wildfowler.250 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Well today I left my snack on the couch and went off for a power-nap. Came back later in the day and it had 'mysteriously' disappeared,(normally it would have been safe as houses ). So I figured it was time to reinforce some training... Level 10: Steak Dinner... Not exactly a sporting picture but I thought it was quite a good one of the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actionpigeons Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Labs cant be trusted with food....lol But as the old saying goes "the better the dog the better the thief they are" So many times I am just having a bite to eat in the hide, see a bird coming in, put my sandwich down to take the shot turn round and the sandwich is gone.

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I've been giving my cocker pup the 'Iron Dog' test every day for the past few weeks. This consists of walking her to heel past ducks sitting on the banks of the canal, and normally she has failed miserably. The other day she passed with flying colours with her to heel, with me between her and the ducks. However, on the way back she behaved perfectly until one duck quacked at her. The click of her teeth as she narrowly missed the rear end of the duck as it leapt into the canal gave me deep. deep depression One side of me was conflictingly quite pleased at her 'hunting instincts' being on display, whilst the other said "You little ******* " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonna Shoot a Wabbit Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Oh my lord labradors and food! The list of sins are..... No1 making off with the xmas turkey crown that was on the kitchen counter cooling, i nipped out of the kitchen to tell the assembled family i was carving to meet the dog with the turkey coming out of the kitchen. We had gammon that year! 2. Knocking down the xmas tree and eating the chocolate decorations. 3. Knocking down the xmas tree again and eating the chocolate replacements. 4. My old shooting mate john offered dons old spaniel half a chippy sausage, who politely nibbled it from his fingers my old lab got offfered the other half of said chippy sausage and she drew blood on his fingertips (forever known thereafter as the labragator). 5. Eating a full tub of haribo, then depositing the full tub 10 mins later all over mother in laws feet in a slimy mass (thats my girl) 6. Eating daughters handbag to get at the chocolate bar that was inside. 7. Eating a hole in jacket pocket to get at the mints there. 8. Emptied the bin more times than i care to remember. 9. The worst sin saved for last, stealing dons old spaniels favourite biscuits whilst in back of car together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me a bit more strict training regime and actually feeding the dog would have worked wonders, you skinflint. Now my old dog Sally was an icon of a working cocker. Steady in a hide, massively obedient, and trained to a 'T'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Back to the steadying board pal. She can quite happily sit with a biscuit etc in front of her for a minute after the 'leave it' command. I can walk 30 yards away from her with her in 'sit', and then walk back. Unfortunately she caught a baby blackbird a couple of weeks ago...... Still, not too bad for less than 5 months. Endless repetition, not forgetting that she is just a pup and I mustn't overdo it. Rats to that blackbird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad for some reason i got the idea it was older sorry pal.Not 5 month old it's ****** all to worry about. Mines just turned 9 month old now he was dropping to shot at 6 month,i dare say he even drops to the flush now. He watched away a pheasant and partridge yesterday sat both time on the flush, plus he watched away a rabbit two week since. Lads doing good!
