Spray your clothes with permethrin to prevent ticks in the field. We use it on our clothes when we go in the field and when we go out backpacking. Works great for tick prevention. You can pick it up at Walmart in the camping section
Just want to add for those that don’t know - if you have cats, it’s extremely toxic to them. So keep your field clothes out of reach of cats, preferably in another room entirely that they can’t access.
Great video, especially when you are using "hot", fired up dogs. I'm in the middle of training my 8 month old Drahthaar to retrieve. She has lost a bit of confidence recently both in going out for the retrieve (so hunting short or stopping and looking back) and also delivering to hand. Some are placed gently in the hand others are dropped just at my feet. I will be giving this drill a try to get her out further and more confidently! Thanks.
Perhaps if you start with marks where you are standing with the wind directly at your back, he has no crosswind to fade with. Then after he learns to mark with the wind at his back and he runs straight to his marks, you can start introducing cross-wind marking.
Great video👍 I've seen some trainers use a hedge row or fence to keep a dog on a straight path. Even seen tall grass cut to make a path.What do you think?
Just brain storming, would it help if you have access to a straight running dog, to run them together? Adding in the competition of getting there first as well as preventing them from breaking down to soon?
Never tell a fishing guide how to fish Never tell a hunting guide how to hunt Never tell a trainer how to train Good job guys . Thanks for the tip on wetting the head and ears , the old guy must have had labs
When the dog is on the line, you should make sure he is sitting in a straight line. The line should be from the base of his tail ,up through this spine, and then directly to the area of the fall. If you line him up left or right of the fall, they will tend to run right or left of the mark. Precision at the line helps the dog.
That is the traditional way Retrievers have been sent for marks. Blinds are sent using “back” (usually queue a Blind first using “dead” or “dead bird”). It’s worked for years and the dogs understand the difference.
Idk. I honestly would appreciate if he 💯 stopped talking to the camera and properly calmed the dog down and then continued with what he was saying. The most important thing is not, "us" the youtube viewers, it's the dog. That is what makes Ceasar such a success, he stops everything and gives the dog 💯 and then continues what he was saying. People long for that attention and seeing someone give 💯 attention to a dog and the pay off makes them want to do better. Still with that said, I mostly enjoy this channel, voice good, sound quilty good, video quality good, shows concerns for dogs well being, seems organized, definently actually uplands, good catch phrase.
These dogs should not be bred to with the amount of noise they make, huge fault for a gundog...! it is Hereditary genrerally but the training exercises you are using is renforcing it, you even say good job when on the release him. You need to go back to basics and not be doing these huge long retrieves. It is making the dog nuts. Man, you will never get this noise out of the dog now.....
Great videos. I’m learning tons. Love how you just let him work and figure it out.
Thanks for watching!

I have heard this! I’ll have to check it out

This is great feedback🙌

Agreed. I don't want them to stop making these videos because some bad cookies! I really benifit from them
I call BS. Excepting constructive feedback helps us grow. Knowing you do not, "know it all" and others have something to offer is ideal.

I hear ya!
Do you think using a dogs name for a release can be confusing for a dog?

Dogs are crazy smart and understand context very well. JUST BE CONSISTENT!
Good question that I do not think was answered.

My dog isn't watching this video.
Put water on the legs and under body is how u keep a dog cool.
2 more good places to put water. Both take a back seat to head and ears!
MCI great tip🙌 Thanks

That’s funny they are doing exceptionally well now just 2 weeks after filming this. Progress videos to come!
Good feedback based on person experience. Over time we will see if it holds water with these pups.
