Wish at seen this before I wrote my essay in Wild Boar Hunting Opportunities!!!! See my response there but pretty much the same as Paul! Regards, Tom

Hi Gaz, It is my strongest intention not to come across as patronising but inevitably it may... Firstly, this is exactly the reason we have a brief on it before the hunting so that points like this can be brought to the fore. There are a number of ways you can tell the age of the animal, even...

I am pleased to present to you the opportunity to hunt Wild Boar, and Roe and Red deer in the forests of Niedersachsen, Northern Germany. On 26-27 October this year, up to 40 hunters will take their stands in a driven hunt in the traditional German way. Itinerary: Arrive at Hannover Airport...

I wonder if the cavemen had this mentality when they thought the spear was the best weapon they had?! What I'm trying to say is that everyone thinks they have the best tool they have at the time, this is until something better comes along. A spear is far simpler than a rifle, but which is more...

Hi Baron, I can only assume that the click replaces voice as it is instant and can capture the behavior far quicker, but that is only my thoughts. I watched a few clips on YouTube and people use it to give the dog problem solving exercises; once the dog has mastered the step towards the desired...

It has been interesting seeing the different views. As far as I'm aware the clicker has been around since the late 80s and used predominantly for show and agility. I was mainly interested in the 'article showing' bit from Schutzhund training due to the simplicity of clicking the correct...

"Clicker training" is an animal training method based on behavioral psychology that relies on marking desirable behavior and rewarding it.Desirable behavior is usually marked by using a "clicker," a mechanical device that makes a short, distinct "click" sound which tells the animal exactly when...

Morning all, I am a big believer in the traditional continental philosophy of training Schweißhunde and I currently train my BMH the German way (with Färtenschuh, without blood) as this is where I am living. However, I wanted to get peoples thoughts on training deer dogs, but more specifically...

I agree with leec6.5, great story and thanks for sharing

That is really helpful, thank you. She definitely has the hunting instinct and as you say it's about training that instinct. She's a great dog and because she's my first I'm trying my best to ensure she is as good as I can possibly make her. It is my goal to eventually do as your friend does...

Thanks again for everyone commenting. Gazza, I feel that that is the way forward with Bayer and I'll look to improve her recall and general obedience. I think that her obedience is almost there when there are no distractions so in a couple of weeks I shall begin introducing a few distractions...

It's definitely a FENTON moment! Bayer walks great to heel on a lead and at the mo I'm working on her heel off lead. When walking on the lead she will jerk towards any deer seen but does not bark (one saving grace I guess!). It's as though she completely shuts down to anything else when...

Thank you all for your replies so far, I thought my recall was good until she switches off when chasing the deer. When not chasing she comes to me with no hesitation 99% of the time. How could I make this stronger when she's chasing? This leads me on to your point Baron, I like the idea of...
