Teal season is just around the corner and to find them you need to know where the mud flats and very shallow water weed beds are. For those unfamiliar with the food plants to look for this may help. You need to know what the dead smartweed plants look like from last season. These weed beds are now in very shallow water with thousands of seeds in the seed bank. You may say the seeds are gone or just destroyed over the months. Well how do you think all the plants you saw growing last season on the moist mud flats get there. The seed fairy did not drop them. The stay in what is called a seed bank in the mud. These seeds last for years just waiting to take hold when the conditions are right for germination. Guess what else is waiting for them DUCKS. They sift the mud to eat the seeds. Most people think ducks that sift in mud are trash ducks but all ducks do this when the seeds are available. These areas are the hot spots to scout.

North Texas Duck Hunting on public water can be a great experience. North Texas public waters can open up duck hunting for the hunter just starting without the huge expense of a lease. There are thousands of hunt able areas. The habitat is the best you can find, there is everything in North Texas from live timber, dead timber, mud flats and marsh areas. The duck hunting in north Texas is fabulous. The duck hunting areas can hold thousands of ducks and also hold non game migrating birds. Many people are told that it is not worth the time. This comes from people trying to keep your interest down in hunting these areas or from outfitters on private areas. The people you meet can be good or bad just in any other activity you pursue. Most are good people and will help but not tell you all the information. You need to learn to dig out the answers for yourself. Go on line and call the proper authorities for the regs and boundaries for each lake you wish to hunt. Do not be discouraged , I never had the wonderful internet so don’t be lazy the answers are there.

Selecting A Working Retriever Trainer-Part One


When selecting a trainer for your pup you need to have some kind of goals in mind for your trainer and pup. The pup may not be up to these tasks but you do not know until the training begins. It’s all the rage to compete in hunt tests now. Most all owners think their dog can learn to handle. Most dogs just do not have what it takes to do this or compete. Owners see the Super Series on TV and think that would be fun to do. Most have no idea what it takes for a dog to do these things. For the owner that is not wanting the pup to compete they should look for a non competing trainer. This is hard to find as most all trainers try their hand at this. You will probably be talked into making your pup a competitor. After all this is how most make their money. If you do choose a trainer that competes check the ratio between the two groups. Most owners think that the pup will see a lot of hunting training -Wrong-. The kennel that makes a living from competition will not have the time to do anything but training for this. We are talking hunt test here not trial. Most trainers that make most of their living off ribbons will not have time for the non competitor. Be very careful and keep a very close eye on the progress of the pup. The not so talented pup in one of these kennels will suffer. The reputable trainer will know very fast if the pup does not have what it takes and tell the owner. When this talk never happens the owner and pup can be strung along, this pup will never see the real training. This kind of trainer just will not have time to mess with the slow pup. When a trainer has 20 or more competition dogs on his truck or in the kennel this eats up the whole day. Most of the slow pups just get the obedience and FF and that’s about it. They sit for weeks on end doing the basic obedience with a few marks with the assistant trainer. The sure fire way to tell if the pup really ever sees the head trainer is if the pup will not listen to the head honcho on a visit. The other dead give away is if the assistant does all the work on the visit as the head trainer explains what is going on. One other trick is to have the real person that trains the pup ,start the obedience on the visit. This will smooth out the pup and then the head trainer takes over. It is the owners responsibility to keep a eye on the pup. They should visit at least once a week to check progress. The kennel that looks down on visits I would not deal with. It is your dog and you need to keep them safe and keep a hand also on you money.

Beware- Accelerated Gun Dog Training…The Two Month Joke.

Beware- Accelerated Gun Dog Training…The Two Month Joke.


How long is my dog going to be gone. When I hear that question I know the person has never dealt with having a dog trained for gun dog before. The reputable retriever trainer in Texas has an average of 4-6 months with your pup. Anything under that and your pup will not see much while at that training facility. I know what I’m talking about. I worked many years at such a two month training kennel just south of Dallas. I must say I was always embarrassed at the lack of training that I was TOLD to put into the dogs. It was considered a waste of time for me to go into the small available area of cover to work the pups. More was put into the manicured looks of the grounds than training areas. A pup needs to have a minimum of just two months alone of obedience foundation and some kind of exposure to live birds, cover, boats decoys and simulated hunting. The two month trainer never has the time to show the pup much of any or none of this. Lets not even get into the harsh pressure that most have to endure just try to complete this program. Most of the clients know little or nothing of waterfowl hunting or what a true hunting retriever should look like in the field. The ones that do are too embarrassed to take the dog on real hunts. The pup suffers because if they had any talent to began with it is never brought out in this time frame.

Intro to birds- The young pup..


There is one Guaranteed fact about dog training . All dogs are different and need to be trained as such. Another one is that if you ask nine trainers a question you will get nine different answers. I will add my two dollars worth on the question of Intro To Birds. I show pups birds early. As soon as they can walk outside the whelping pen. Some say that can create problems later because they are molesting the bird. No I don’t let them eat the darn thing just carry play and chase and yes even pull feathers. I want that prey drive to click in as soon as it can. I want that pup absolutely crazy for the bird. I am very patient for this to kick in. I have seen dogs just watch the others play and tumble and fight over a bird. These little thinkers are just waiting to have it all to themselves later in the big picture. Never write off the pup that watches but does not act. These little guys usually end up to be power houses but also difficult to train. One on one the pup should be allowed to run free after the bird no sit just a free run for the thrown bird. Now for the older pup that comes in at six months that has not seen the bird. I throw in a very controlled area so I can catch them if need be. I let them have the bird without commands. This is the only way to see what the are made of around the bird. If you make them sit and say all kinds of commands you will not see the true pups out look on birds. The one true thing with dogs is that it is much easier to stop them ,than it is to get them to go. If the pup has no interest in the bird just keep at it. Try water try a trained dog to tease the pup. Act like a kid and get the pup all interested in what you have for them. Just do not be all stiff and embarrassed for acting like a kid around the pup. This is what makes the pup very happy to chase the bird. You showing that it is a good and fun thing.
