@yuleyburrow Thanks for watching. I've only used a Kuranda bed in a giant crate that I own (it's a crate for a dog as large as a great dane) I normally don't put the kuranda in crates, but I do use them in my 5 X 10 ft Kennels. There is plenty of room for the dogs to walk around and then lay on top of the Kuranda if they choose. Hope that helps.

Thanks for watch. Anything worth having is going to take practice. It sounds like you realize that. Practice makes progress

You're welcome. Thanks for watching

Little later into the video (4:25) I did mention the liner but I agree it would've been more helpful in the beginning

😅

Not sure if you tightened the corners down fully before moving to the next corner, but if you did, Don't. Just hand tighten the corners before moving to the next one. That will provide you with enough flexibility for you to assemble the final corner. Then go back through them and tighten them all down. If you made this mistake. Just disassemble and start over. Sometimes you do have to trim those plastic flexible rods with a clipper. You don't want those sticking out passed the seams. Hope that helps

@flycreekkennels9559 I did hand tighten. Finally got the 3rd corner. Now am struggling with the 4th. Swearing isn't doing a damned thing for me😂

@flycreekkennels9559 Thank you for your quick response

@@flycreekkennels9559 Ended up driving up to my sister's and it just took an extra set of hands to get the last corner secured. Her husband had an impact drill so I got the legs screwed in properly. Thanks again for your help.

@@lindastevens8392 But it does feel good 😉

Sorry. The material I get already has the Plastic rods installed. Hopefully it wasn't to challenging

In my opinion. The technique is all the same.

I wouldn't see why not. Especially if you want to encourage retrieving. I probably wouldn't do it to much if you're planning on disciplining a solid whoa command but like everything else in dog training. balance of drills and techniques is crucial.

Maybe if it's all the dog does. In my opinion it is exercise. At least a small part of my dogs exercise. I don't do it everyday but I do something with them everyday. If you think about it dogs run hard while playing with other dogs. Cutting, turning, banging, rolling. I can't see how throwing a ball for them is any worse. We're all breaking down the moment we are born. After day one we're on a path to die. Live life while you can and do everything in moderation and let the chips fall where they may. The healthiest dogs I've been around are worked everyday. They play, they train, they run, they lay around etc. They stay active and they eat a healthy diet.🤷‍♀

Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment. I have used the sport dog. When Garmin bought Tri-Tronics years back they changed their Sport Pro model and I hated it. Thank god somebody set them straight and they brought the sport pro back. The Sport dog worked but I found that the charger was flimsy and the collar wasn't as rugged as the Garmin. The two models are the same cost and I still like the the Garmin over the Sport dog. The Garmin also has two led lights on the collar that you can turn on and off from the transmitter. I take advantage of that option when I'm airing my dog out and setting up decoys in the field and on the river. Easy way to see my labs in the dark. The other nice option is the Garmin can be used as a bark collar and you can run three dogs from one transmitter if that's something that fits your lifestyle now or in the future. I hunt big Montana fields and I've never had an issue with Garmins range. It says it has a half mile range and as I've experienced that's plenty for field hunting and upland hunting. Good luck with your choice😊

@@flycreekkennels9559 thx for the explanation, details and your time. I like tough and rugged, it's an important 'feature'.

@@Laughinghawg You're welcome.

I appreciate that Hawg. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching. The dogs I have had on the kuranda beds seem to love them. They gravitate and lay on them voluntarily all the time. So that tells me they think they're pretty comfortable. I just checked out K&H on the web. Unfortunately they look really flimsy and the material is exposed to chewing around the edges. I'm sure the dogs would find them comfortable but since I've never used them around any dogs I couldn't speak to the comfort. I would still choose Kuranda hands down. Kuranda does offer a mesh material that is permeable to water so if your looking for a material with more air flow I would choose the mesh.

@@flycreekkennels9559 thanks, later last night after watching more videos and checking out more reviews I decided to go with the Kuranda ballistic nylon and keep it outdoors where it will be in the shaded area most of the time. I will buy a different bed for inside that will be more focused on comfort. Thanks for the video and quick reply.

@@rajsteint6487 You Bet. Enjoy the new bed and check out my installation video for tips and instructions on how to assemble it. th-cam.com/video/wRkGGEl4Vpc/w-d-xo.html

You're dog should enjoy the new bed. Thanks for watching. For helpful tips on how to assemble it check out my other video th-cam.com/video/wRkGGEl4Vpc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aG9TJnSWOsO5fuGW

That hilarious. You're the first to mention it Chewar and I agree!! That table was driving me crazy. For the record. There is a drain under the table and in order to get the proper shot I had to move the table over and unfortunately it put one of the feet in a spot right where the drain starts to slope. I love how observant you are. Enjoy the bed. They are amazing. Hope the video makes it easy to assemble. Thanks again for the comment and for watching 😉

@@flycreekkennels9559 -Ah, that makes sense! Things like that just pop out at me. lol. Yes, the video made it perfectly simple on assembly, and I can’t wait to get the bed for my pup. Thanks again!

I just took in a dobberman to help some friends. Man they are hyper! Even after exercise.

Yes. That is one of the transitioal steps I use during upland training.

@@flycreekkennels9559 Word. I've trained Griffons and would work them with launchers.

@@davidcudlip6587 Such an invaluable tool

Not sure about international flights. Sorry

you're welcome, Thanks for watching

You're welcome. Thanks for watching

I'm sure they love that addition. Thanks for watching

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. I'm glad it was able to save you time

Glad you like it. Hope it helps your process

Nicole Thanks for your comments. You should be so brave to leave the comment section open on the videos you create. As for Chris Akin, I'll let his work speak for itself. In response to my so called "arrogance". It's actually frustration. I produced this video to heed the warning to first timers that Force Fetch is not as simple as it is portrayed on a TH-cam. The frustration has developed over years because amateurs screwing up their dogs and then expecting a pro to come in and fix it. That conversation typically leads with " I watched a video on TH-cam" You stated it perfectly in your comment Nicole "A real trainer needs to be flexible and cater each lesson specifically to the dog and it's learning method...like teachers and kids a lot of it is manipulation and psychological. " How can a good teacher possibly do that through a video series on TH-cam that uses one or two dogs as an example? Any "real" trainer knows you can't. What always amuses me about folks like yourself that like to attack my character and this video is that I'm simply heeding a warning that maybe this step of the training should be left to those who have experience. Good luck to you and your dogs Nicole.

Thanks Jared

Pepper There is so much to unwrap in this comment that my head is spinning but I do thank you for watching the video. Not sure you watched in it's entirety. I never said you shouldn't train your own dog. As a matter of fact I encourage people who have the time and desire to train their own dog, to do so. The gratification and relationship you get from the work is incredible. I just said that if you have never force fetched a dog you should leave that step to a person with the experience to navigate your dog through it. More importantly you should be extremely cautious of try to learn the process from a video on TH-cam. That's really my entire purpose of this video. To warn people that the process is more complex then people are lead to believe. I'll say it again. If you've never force fetched a dog you should leave this stage of training (if you believe this is the technique you should use) to a qualified professional . Good luck with the new pup. oh, and In my opinion you took the puppy from the litter way to soon. You should've waited until 8 weeks. JOMO

If you watched my entire video you'd know I touched on all your comments. As like most people in any profession, I started under the supervision of a professional for almost a year and FF 5 dogs from start to finish before heading out on my own. After that I FF two personal dogs before taking on any clients. Each one of those dogs domineers was different and no video would've ever taught me what I learned in that first year. I did my best in my video to explain that there are so many nuances to the process and each individual dog has his/her own reaction that it can be dangerous and naive to believe your going to get the same reaction as one of those dogs in a video. You can watch a video of a trainer FF a dog and believe that your dog is going to respond the same way but in most cases he/she will not. You are correct. There are tons of videos trying to teach folks about the FF process. As far as I know mine is the only one discouraging first timers from attempting it. I made the video because I've seen people ruin good retrievers and then come to trainers like me to try to repair it and often the first comment out of their mouth is "I saw a video on TH-cam". With all that said, it's a free country and you are more then welcome to try the process on your own but you should know you really only get one shot at doing it right so you better not screw it up. Good luck and thanks for your comment.

Thanks for your interest in the video. My pigeons are kept in an outside coop during the training season (March-Sept). Because I'm located in the north and can't keep them alive during the cold winter I then thin the heard and use them for live fliers in the fall. Each Spring I replenish them and the cycle starts all over again. I feed them a crushed corn. In your case it might be smarter to locate a local trainer and see if you can purchase them as needed. A local retriever club could be a great source too.

@@flycreekkennels9559Thank you.

My helper is using a blank gun with 209 primers. Hard for the microphone to pick it up but it is noticeable in real-time

Four XL beds is a lot of of work! It makes me happy to know the video saved you time and frustration. 😊😊

Glad you were able to find the video and it led you to success.

Glad to help.

Like most educated trainers, I apprenticed fulltime under a pro for almost a year. Trust me. There are easier ways to make a living then FF a dog. This video was created to heed warning to people who are naive to the challenges of force fetch. Not drum up business. I always love the up tick in views and sarcastic comments on this video this time of year. Just before the hunting season begins folks want that dog to "Just bring me the bird". They hear about this "Force Fetch" process and away they going. Off to TH-cam to solve my problems 😊😊 The sad part is when folks bring us broken dogs because they tried the process themselves. Then expect us to pull off a miracle and reverse the dogs negative experience that the owners created.

Unfortunately they don't make the bottle in this video anymore but I would recommend the Gatorade GX Water bottle. Its a little pricey at 19.99 but it's got a consistent stream. Here's a link www.amazon.com/Gatorade-10052000014782-Gx-Bottle-Black/dp/B07W4D57KK/ref=sr_1_3?hvadid=570455605392&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9021146&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11444849224511521375&hvtargid=kwd-616301101847&hydadcr=17761_13462881&keywords=gatorade%2Bgx%2Bwater%2Bbottle&qid=1691597897&sr=8-3&th=1

You're welcome. Glad it helped

Siento escuchar eso

Not sure I was complaining about people hoarding Ammo just trying to inform others of the challenge they may face if they decided to go with the 209 Primer version. As for me I try to have 3 bricks of primers on hand at all times. As a pro I don't have the luxury of going without. Thanks for your Comment. Curious to what pistol you think is the best choice for you?
