[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 2959457, member: 99519"] Not gonna ask how you gunshyed your dog.....but taking it with you everytime you go hunting will help...even if it has to be on leash...try putting little ear plugs in the ears around the house..let the dog get used to them..take it hunting and use the plugs.... If that dog gets to watch others retrieving birds it will increase its enthusiasm and should want to join in the retrievals..... If it's having problems picking and holding birds...that's corrected on the training table at home.....takes time but sometimes it's a win/win.... You get your hunting buddy back and the dog gets "it's job back"....instead of both of you becoming couch potatoes Blood trailing is fun teaching....chunk of hide with fresh blood....tarsal gland.....something to drag on string behind you.....big field...even soccer fields...snow covered....tall grass.... Start with short trails..then get bigger....then crossover pathes... Eventually that dog will again learn it's nose is valuable.....fun too..get your kids involved.....send the kids out of the house to hide..tell the dog to find your kid....did this a lot with my son and his yellow lab.... Great retriever..switched to pointing pheasants.....last pheasant from a kids shoot got away from the shooters....I put that dog on point to last spot that we saw the bird flying thru the trees....sent him.....45 minutes later that dog came back with that pheasant...alive....unmauled True test to training..... As to other dogs in the past knowing that quail were really good eating.....lol [/QUOTE]
