The more tests i go to you realize its pretty crazy the stuff the dogs can comprehend from us to perform all the test requirements and the littlest stuff they're critiqued on. Shes killing it though

Need 6 master passes from Aug 1st to July 31st to qualify for that Fall's Master National. This years National in Kentucky your 6 passes needed to be from Aug of 2023 through July 2024. Congrats on all the success you have been having in both HRC and AKC. You can tell G is having fun 😊

Congratulations,at least you have taken the time to learn your dog, I personally appreciate the time that you’ve taken to teach the dog to do what it was bred to do. I am an 8 point AKC FIELD TRIAL JUDGE, and an all age Hunt test Judge, while I am no longer active in the sport, I still appreciate good disciplined dog work. Too bad that more people do not take the time to teach and learn the art of handling the beautiful animals that they are. Joe D

I train with 3 guys that all run in HRC, AKC, SRS and Master Nationals. My job doesn't allow me to travel with them however I hunt every day of the season. My dog is a meat dog; however, he runs the same set ups that my buddy's dogs run. My dog has the same characterizes as G does. "Borderline out of control" but a damn good hunting dog.

I watched a bunch of Freddie King videos the other night after listening to your podcast with Chris Joan. He was training a dog name Tank. I want a retriever now…I blame you Elliott.

Crazy how we can critique these dogs but at the end of the day, they are out performing 99.9% of the rest of the dogs in the world. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

Nice work Elliot. I follow you on the FLK podcast. Keep up the good work. If that was a chocolate lab I would have thought it to be mine. Been there and fixed it all. It’s a continuous work in process but worth it. Dan

Is the dog supposed to follow the gun in AKC? I can see how it makes sense in HRC since you are sitting on the bucket
@FreelanceDuckHunting
Ай бұрын
Ideally they would follow the gun but in AKC there's a boom along with the bird being thrown so they will always look when they hear that sound. Georgie has never missed seeing a mark in either AKC or HRC but she's never been great on swinging with the gun.

You most likely worked on selection with the dog, through wagon wheel or something similar. Thus, it should be no surprise the dog is switching her lock off the go-bird when you adjust her heel position due to creeping ahead. She thinks you want the other bird. So, I don't know how this fits the rules of the test, but correcting the creeping by way of re-establishing the heel position is creating a different problem. I would not deal with it that way and, I do not test or compete with my dogs, but assuming it is not an auto - D.Q. I would just send the dog in the crept-up position and not try to do it that day. The rules are outside my base of knowledge, but I would think if a judge thought like me, he would downgrade more for a twisted-pretzel switch than a good launch from a forwarded imperfect heel? I personally would live with benign creeping, but if I were to deal with it I would not doit with multiple marks, just singles. Of course, back to teaching basic heeling, sit, stay too.

I agree with you about the root cause why she switches marks in that situation. I think ultimately if I fix the creeping I fix the problem.

@@FreelanceDuckHunting Again, I am uninformed about the rules of hunt tests and field trials. So, my approach may not work for you. But I would address this by making the dog reverse heel, but not necessarily all the way back to what you people term "the line". If I could move the dog back only six inches at first, I would take it. Remember dog training is baby steps, crawl - walk- run.

Your line mechanics need a lot of work. I'm sure you already know that. Why are you standing sideways with your right leg way behind the dog and your left leg is too far out to the side. This leaves you no way to push or pull the dog right or left. Ideally you should stand straight with the dogs head near your inside knee. Pick a leg to anchor into the ground and push or pull with the other. Practice this over and over. Practice reverse healing, when you say heel its straight back to your side, not turning to another mark. Start running single marks with multiple guns and if your dog creeps, make an impression with a good heeling stick will help in training (not at a test). Always run a FAST dog SLOW. On your land blind, the dog told you several times it wanted to go right. I would have given a left silent over cast to push the dog away from the hazard of the blind planter. Get the dog back toward the line and then focus on casting back. Sweating the dog on the second cast refusal might also be a benefit. Make the dog sit there and focus on you for 3 to 6 seconds or more if you practice it enough, should help you get the cast you asked for.
