sadly all to true  done about 1500 or more the my posts since my angel gave me a golden feather.

Still no clue twist?

He knows Red. Do you think his curiosity would just up & dry up, I think not lol. Happen to notice when he talked about the yaks yesterday or the day before that he has named one Star. Seems to me I remember a promise to the angel if he or she came forward that they would be given that honor hmm....

Just sayin about deer meat: My half brother in Mi broke his back in a car accident., He had an unexplainable recovery. S#!t you not, the surgeon at U of M attributed the healing substantially to his diet of deer meat and fresh veggies, the free cheese the county gave out. Can't prove it, but I heard the surgeon say it.

It's Tuesday! That's mean update on Ben! I took him out to the yard with a bag of treats. The birds were all safely locked away. He knew I had the treats, and responded well when I said "leave it!" I gave the command when he would get still, ears up, and zone in. Y'all know what I mean. He came straight back and sat at my feet almost every time. Progress is progress! And now for pics! Check out that body condition! Don't they look just like long lost best friends?? Edit: I know he needs more work before he's to be trusted around chickens, but I was afraid that he was learning to bump my fist when I said leave it, not avoid the thing I was talking about. So now I know the concept is there. I'm not totally sure how to proceed because he's not trying to get the bait treats anymore. Do I have to drop a fresh one each time? After the first time I tell him to leave it, he doesn't bother it anymore.

e Sorry, passion kicking in again. Up the game. No breakfast for Ben. Now, on a lead. leave it means ignore a moving object, what I tossed! (ball, toy, etc) , come to me and make eye contact. Treat, or a handful of his breakfast, or throw a different toy and let him fetch it! Wait it out, it may take a bit for him to give up on a moving object. Only say "leave It" once. Next, go to the chickens on lead. When he LOOKS at a chicken, say "leave it!" wait for him to come to you and make eye contact. BIG TREAT or, throw a ball! Now ... I read your post about him grabbing the tail feathers. IMO, after you know he knows "leave it" he will still grab chickens in your absence. He was a gun dog. He needs to re-learn to never touch feathers. So...once you know he knows leave it when he even looks at a chicken, IMO, it is now fair and necessary to use a remote trainer. I'm in trainer mode now and won't mince words or fluffy it up. Be sure you know how to use the collar. NEVER use it in anger. Dogs are pretty darned smart, so don't go buckle a collar on only when you have time to train. You'll only teach the dog not to eat chickens when the collar is on. I tape a piece of lead to their regular collar. Put the E collar on an hour before training so there's no association. Set it on Med. Have a pocket full of treats. Duct tape your mouth if needed, just watch. Stay way far away, uninterested. If he looks at a chicken, give a collar correction. Every time he looks at a chicken, give a correction. Try really hard to not let him notice you. If he happens to come find you to tell you that the chickens shocked him, give him a big reward and "good leave it!" This is so hard to explain.I'll shup now.

Don't shup at all! If I didn't want suggestions, then I wouldn't ask. I value the experience that everyone has, and it's so nice to ask and get answers instead of constant googling! Now, questions: lead means the 15 ft training leads? All my leashes are 4ft. Ignoring a moving object is going to be so hard with his duck training. That will be really good. He already makes eye contact all the time, like constantly. I thought about using the mouthful of feathers that he brought me as the bait object, or taking him to where they all are in the woods. The things he didn't ignore today when I said "leave it" were a pile of possum bones and the tires on the chicken tractor. He's such a big dope and had that big doofy grin when he brought me those feather. He was so confused. And he's being really squirrelly tonight... he marked twice in the house and kept jumping on top of the kennel instead of going in. Anyway... I need to get replacement batteries for our shock collar. It's pretty old. The previous owner said that Ben knew when he was wearing it, so that should be easy. He's a smart boy.

Twist, Megan is checking to see if pay pal can be hooked up to one of those prepaid cards you can buy at Walmart. I refuse to hook mine up to my checking account. To open another account just for PayPal will cost me $11 per month for service fees.


The Walmart card will cost me

Well I think I have an account now but not sure    I did link to a credit card  and saw  no mention  of monthly fees  but haven't tried to use it either. 

Twist I have never been charged a fee & my PayPal account is linked to my credit card.

PayPal is the only way I will purchase things online. You have double security that way.
