Tuning Your Retriever for Duck Season

[oneshotlu]

Hey guys,

Thought I'd share this article about tuning your retriever for duck and goose season. Won't be long and we'll be teal hunting!

Anybody been out there working on these drills?

Good article-

Been doing a little of that myself over the last month.

Thanks! Yeah, it's hot as hell, but it will be worth it opening morning!

I think my dog is just about ready! She has come a long way since you last saw her

I keep telling myself I'm going to get up early and go work the dogs before work........never seems to work..

15 minutes every morning before work and after work when I get home.
Sage is waiting for me in the morning after I eat breakfast, and at the door when I get home ready to work.

Oh yes, I know the feeling!!! It's extremely hard for me to get up early for anything other than hunting...

That's perfect. I have so many friends that tell me they "just don't have time" to work with their dog! 15-30 minutes a day is all it takes and even less for a young pup.

I have been. Actually her boyfriend has kept my dog for the past couple of weeks working on some advanced stuff and she is responding very good. So hopefully she continues to improve

Good article, it is definitely hotter than hell. Good reminder for everybody to have a plan and supplies on hand in case your dog starts overheating. Scary situation to be in.
