I am looking at a trainer to work with my 20 month old English Setter pup. He needs to be force fetch trained. I've tried on my own but this is my first pup and I'm just not getting anything to work. I'm looking at a trainer named Larry Laqua from Legend Gun Dogs. Anyone familiar with him?

I know nothing about Legend gun dogs or Larry, but if you are located near Dassell I would at least talk to Mike Schulenberg from Wings and Whistles in Watertown and see what you think. Great guy, soft approach. I have personally seen 4-5 setters that Mike has trained and they all turned out really well. Good luck which ever direction you choose.

Two others that I personally know and respect...again depending where you are located are:

Ed Erickson at Autum Breeze Kennel in Isle MN

Morgan Haglin at Pine Shadows in Brainerd MN

Both are full time trainers of gun dogs.

I will put in a second vote for Brian Rousher with West Country. I did the training of my pointer and then brought him into Brian for some brush up help and he did more in a week than i expected. I have also heard very good things about Chad Hines in Little Falls, and i am thinking seriously about getting a shorhair from him. Adam

Nice to hear more good things about Willow Creek and Chad Hines. My dog is headed there later this summer. I am hoping that the Willow Creek staff can bring out some more of his potential.

Her name is Jasmine. She is a ten month old puppy. From the Merlin/Bree-ze litter. Shes been up there for three weeks now. I think she will be up there another month. I just talked to Morgan today about her. I guess she doesn't want to retrieve the birds back. So they are going to start using the e-collar on her next week. So have you met my dog?

I do know your dog.... She is going to be just fine... She is just being a puppy at this point in time. The e-collar will w/o question help a great deal.

I will be with Morgan in the morning... I try to help out 3 - 5 days a week... It lets me run my dog on live birds plus I just enjoy working with all of the different animals.

If you are going to be up to see your dog in training please let me know when you will be there.

Pine Shadows really is a first class operation.

Yeah I will definetly be stopping up to visit her probably in like two weeks. I was going to talk to Morgan about it. I wasn't sure if that would mess her up at all if I came up. Well I am glad you think she will be allright. I was kind of worried about her, she seems to like to do things her way. Or no way. Thats why I sent her up there. I know Morgan will get her under control. I am sure I have probably seen you up there before. I have been up there quiet a few times. Well keep me posted on how my monster is doing Joel!! Yeah I find it hard to believe that there is another place like pine shadows around. I am 26 so this is my first springer. We had a pine shadows springer while growing up as a kid. So I knew when, it was time to get my own. There was no other place to go. Plus this one is related to the one I had when I was younger. So that is kind of cool too.

Jimmy, your girl had a good morning training session.. Her quartering was very good and she brought the first two birds directly back to Morgan. On the third bird she started playing her keep away game again.. Morgan did a quick correction and had her do several retrieves back to hand before we ended up. She is making progress!

Like most dogs it takes lots of repetition to drive home who is in charge.

It's no problem. Jasmine's a nice looking pup, good luck with her. I am taking my pup to Ed Erickson tomorrow. I have worked a little with Ed in the past but didn't think he'd have a space available since he's usually booked this time of year. I called him around the time I submitted this post and he said he'd open a spot for my pup. Thanks again everyone.

      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.
