Hunting Dog Supplies Reviews

I don't mean to digress into the particulars of calendars, but there are two that have some importance at this time of year. One is the liturgical calendar, and for the Western church this means that advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, or December 25. Many orthodox Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Continue reading?

Most of Lion Country Supply's employees are avid hunters and love to get out in the fields and woods whenever they can. Unfortunately businesses don't run themselves and we are limited on how often we can get out and do what we love. This past weekend, 12/12/15, our Webmaster/IT got the chance to spend the Continue reading?

Lion Country Supply would like to congratulate local hunter Cortlynd Rhoades for a successful first pheasant hunt. This young man came into Lion Country Supply recently and said he needed a new shotgun to hunt pheasants. He purchased a Remington 870 Compact youth model and the following day promptly harvested two pheasants while hunting over Continue reading?

Two new puppies joined the Lion Country Supply team this week so we thought it might be appropriate to offer some Christmas gift recommendations for the new bird dog owner and hunter. Bird dog training requires some equipment investment, and although much of this equipment is considered essential by today's gun dog training standards, it's Continue reading?

There is a lot of preparation and commitment involved in puppy rearing; it's a serious undertaking that with careful planning before the puppies arrive will increase the puppy's chances of survival. Hypothermia is a leading cause of puppy mortality.

With the aid of microscopes and telescopes, we can see things that no other animals can see. With sound amplification equipment, we can hear things that no other animals can hear. But we cannot even begin to approach the olfactory sensitivity of dogs. Dogs live in a world of smells that does not exist for humans, and while most trainers use verbal commands and hand signals to train dogs, the dog's strongest sense is rarely used in training.

One of the things about field trials that escape the minds of many folks is that the vast majority of the credit from a win rests squarely on the withers of the dog and not the shoulders of the owner. A wise man owns a good dog and feels blessed for the experience, and a fool owns a great one and thinks, "verybody will know me now!" I do not mean to imply that there is no training that goes into the formation of a hunting dog. Indeed there is plenty of training. There is also lots of conditioning. This is especially true for beagles. Many times a beagle trial ends in the afternoon heat and the best conditioned dog will rise to the top.

This Saturday, October 17th, is the opening day of the Ruffed Grouse season in Pennsylvania, and for many Pennsylvania hunters the Ruffed Grouse season is the beginning of the most enjoyable and exciting wild game hunt. With the cooler temperatures, shorter days, and the brilliant show of fall foliage, there is no question that the season has arrived; however in our local area there has yet to be a frost, so hunters will enter the woods this Saturday with plenty of colorful foliage and vegetation to contend with. But that's fine for most hunters because colorful leaves and vegetation are all part of the upland hunting experience; it's a time when many hunters plan to keep the dogs working close.

At the recent Bird Dog Days event Ed Rader gave some valuable tips on basic gundog training your pup. Ed talked about how dogs are pack animals, and pack animals will respect and obey the leader of the pack. He gave plenty of tips on training with close, hands-on methods using association and repetition. While his training tips are very useful for gun dog training, many of these methods work just fine when training the family dog. Ed says that establishing you as the pack leader are the very basics of where good training begins. If your dog doesn't respect you as the leader he will not perform for you.
