What is your buddy looking to do with the dog? Just obedience and force fetch or does he want a dog that is finished, i.e. handles, steady, multiple retrieves that type of stuff.

Let us know and we will try and point him in the right direction.

Wings and Whistles in Watertown did a nice job with my brittany. More importantly, the trainer spent a fair amount of time with me to make sure I knew how to continue the training and proper use of e-collar and choke chain. We had the dog attend a 2 week course that was intro to guns/birds and then a follow up 4 week course, very nice facilities.

A second nomination for Wings and Whistles, they are very knowledgable dog guys and let the dogs go at thier own pace instead of beating the training into them. I know that metrojoe had his dog trained there and that little dog turned out great.

She gets it all from her mother Justin. Thats my little girl on a solid point at 9 months old in my avatar. I can't say enough good things about Wings and Whistles. I sent her in around 6 months old and I couldn't believe what I was seeing after only a 2 week bird and gun intro. It was amazing. I also sent her in for the 4 week obedience course and I had a number of one on one sessions with Mike and he showed me some simple exercises and techniques for training "Here", "Heal", and "Whoa" that I still use. Also, for those of you not familiar with e-collar training this is really the way to go. Well worth every penny.

My GSP came from Autumn Breeze Kennels and they were previously in the St. Francis area. He is now close to Isle so a bit away from the metro. Ed used to run labs and now breeds GSP's but I've seen him training everything from pointers to flushers.

What I liked about Ed is that I had the option of leaving my dog with him for the training or I could attend with my puppy a couple of times a week and get trained myself! Believe me, I think I needed the training more than the dog since this was my first try.

Unfortunately I'm about to be starting over as I had to put my dog down last week at 5 years of age due to liver failure. I'll be posting that information in the future once I can see through my "cloudy" eyes to type!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
