[QUOTE="MarbleEyez, post: 90819, member: 1292"] I'm not saying that you aren't an excellent dog trainer, but this is the same "philosophy" a family member of mine has. Now this family member boasts about his training abilities and that he's trained all his dogs throughout life. I will tell you that my NUMBER 1 pet peeve is when people bring a dog with that has no experience in the field and DO NOT HAVE A SHOCK COLLAR. Nothing drives me more nuts than listening to people yelling at their dog the entire time out in the field. On top of that trying to direct or make the dog go in one direction or another is another problem. The dogs knows more that the human when it comes to scent and tracking, old scent vs. new scent etc. Finally they got the hint that I was getting tired of listening to them yell the entire time in the field and left the dog in the kennel. This is what I think of every time someone says that they can train a dog just as good as a actual dog trainer you spend money on. I myself hunt pheasants 25+days a season and have a pointing/retrieving dog that has excellent natural ability and experience from being out in the field all those days with me. But she also has the tools necessary from working with a trainer for 3 months when she was younger. I myself could have "trained" her, but I didn't have the time nor probably the patience. [/QUOTE]
