Hey all
I just got a new pooch. She is an 18 month old ladradoodle. I work in the bush as a forest tech and got her as a campanion/ bear and couger warning system. So far she is doing great but I want her to range a little more and sniff out sheds. Anyone have any tips on how to get your dog interested in finding sheds and flushing birds?
I have givin her antlers to chew and try to play fetch with them but so far she doesnt seem to interested. I got her from the city and I don't think she has any idea how much fun being a dog can be. She is seems more concerned about following me around then chasing new smells and exploring.
What have been your experience with adopted dogs can they make good hunters? can you make your dog have more retriver / hunting drive?
