Jonty Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hi, Im after a favour if anyone can help me out. I'm waiting for my SGC to come through and in the interim, I'm working on training my dog - Dusty, a 22 month old Springer. He's great at flushing birds but not so sure about the retrieve. He's always been great with dummies, but, the couple of times I've had access to birds he's been a bit hesitant. So I'm on the scrounge for a couple of pigeons. Obviously, not having a gun makes it all a bit chicken and the egg, I can't get any birds to train him with, so he doesn't get ant better. So, if you're near to Skipton, North Yorkshire, and you can help me out, I'd be very grateful. Thanks Jonty Rhodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul in North Lincs. Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 alot of dogs dont like the bloom (powder in Bdirds / pigeons feathers) ....it irritates them. When you manage to get some birds...put them in a pair of tights to start with...that way he'll get used to pickig it up, and be wont put off by the taste!
