Do we even have any pros here anymore? Jeffy ya might just be talkin to yourself. I think the marsh mutt guys left town.one2many wrote:this isnt a troll. i want to know what you pros think that is so hard to train a lab or chessie? this stems from corncob on that other site.
you guys act like its such a hard thing. pointer guys feel the same way.the versatile crew does do more then the last two.
you guys act like you are gods among men. when it isnt in anyway remotely close to training a stock dog or a service dog.yet them trainers dont go tooting their own horns,and sticking up for each other by telling someone how many trophies or ribbons they or someone else has.
all you guys training new pups(aaron and jim) this is not directed to you, you guys are doing it yourself like it should be and your pups are doin a damn fine job.
do the pros exaggerate the difficulty just to slob on each others knobs, and keep simple minded people cutting them checks for easy money?

It is something completely different when soldiers lifes are depending on the nose or training of a dog versus finding a dead duck or goose.

Kinda funny you say that. The Army and Air Force(probably other branches too) reject about 90% of all the dogs that start training. Of course what you see in the end is a well oiled machine, but it took 10 dogs to produce 1.
A pro is only someone who trains a dog for money. It has no "skill" level to come with it. I am on the professional trainer side of it all. I've seen wayyy wayyy wayyyyyyyyy better dogs come out of a legit professional trainer than the average hunter that trains his.

i dont think so. you are doing a great job.making me look sloppy
some of the very best dogs i have ever hunted over were bred and trained by some old country folks. never been to a HT/FT and never would.
seen lots of money change hands and a pissed off city guy load his pro trained dog into the back of the truck.heading home with less cash and a mouth full of crow

you aint been too deep into the dog world then,even if you think you have.im not saying im the greatest retriever because i aint.
im not the best stock dog trainer either.a service dog trained for the blind is as good as it gets even compared to army/military dogs.

I would agree with Red, as long as we're talking about retrievers. I have seen some high trained retrievers, they were amazing to watch. They couldn't out hunt any of the dogs I've had, but they handled awesome at some crazy long distances. With pointers, I'll take whatever dog sees more wild birds.

You are right, I am not deep in the dog world, but I do know my dog trainer hunts more than the majority of the people on this or any duck hunting forum and knows how to train a dog to do any task in the field. He also runs the occaisional HT and also judges them. I would put his training ability over mine any single day of the week/month/year/lifetime. I've watch how he reacts to mistakes the dogs make and how he handles them. I am no where near that level, and considering he is 60ish and been doing it his entire life(mentored Richard Wolters for years) I really don't think I could ever catch up, or even have the time to. Saying all pros are a crock of shit is pretty dumb, but I will agree that they all aren't god's and some can be pretty terrible personality-wise.

We don't lack the abilities to train dogs to a high level, mostly folks like me lack time, supply of live birds, and training areas. I train Taz when work, weather and time permit. Pros do it everyday. Unfortunately many on the forums are jerkoffs.
