Dougie, that question has been answered so many times I am sick of doing it.... and NO I won;t go back and find them... you do it... in fact not only did I answer it, another forum member posted about the success they had with what I suggested... I can explain it... I can;t understand it for you.

To elaborate on that... I do not, will not cannot give you a paint by numbers answer that so many want... dog training has never worked that way. I can, and do give people handling techniques to adopt that will get them their result. If when I post that, they argue with me the merit of what I am saying, it comes as absolutely no surprise to me that
they get no result... and then that is somehow still my fault....?????

I can get a down at a distance with any dog, I've talked at length about what I do with dogs, you responded at length about how some of my methods, and those of people I respect are so flawed and to quote "ridiculous"... the fact is... you want an answer on your terms... you've been indoctrinated into a mind set that has you believing Milan is an idiot, (Your words) and yet he holds many of the answers you seek... keep listening to the people putting you crook and you'll get no where, but I am not going to change how I train, handle or share freely those methods to suit your sensibilities... accept what you are doing is not working.... that some of the people you have been "trained" to believe are idiots may actually have the answers and the dog training world will open up to you... right now you have set the parameters and insist any advice you are given fits within them... sorry... I don't have parameters.

Sure mate. Enjoy the forum.

Really Dougie???? It has to be your way huh????

club days are a great meeting place for other hunters for one and a great place to learn some good skills from other finatics !!! and a good place to bench mark your dogs ability and see if your can help him improve or maybe improve others .North Auckland has a club as does south Auckland

Dougie -teach a dog to go down at distance -start with a drop command at close quarters -like next to you -introduce the whistle with the command at the same time still at close quarters --from there you will progress further out as as long as the dog knows the close quarter command it will react the same at distance

Seriously dude, of course it wont.... it will have worked out previously at what distance your control falls off...... Only.... ONLY if your initial training has been designed to ensure it never works out your distance of authority... you'll never get a distance down of any real usefulness.

I give you my own experience and it has worked for me --I am now currently the world champion of putting a dog down at distance -maybe even champion of the Universe but I am unsure and may need to go back to the mirror to ask myself again

You can do whatever you want... but think of this... I can do with a dog what you want to do... when I tell you how to do it you tell me I am wrong, now you make snide remarks... but my dogs still do what I want them to do... when we part as enemies... who has what they want???... you're still pushing turds uphill aye?????

Moonhunt when you going to lead the charge with the pig hunt/pig dog photos ,on the special new hunting dog area
