THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

Many hunting or gun dog owners do not necessarily realize that the supplies they are going to need are different from those of dogs we keep as pets.  Although we may keep our pets outside from time to time in bad weather as a rule of thumb out pets are indoors if the weather is bad.  The hunting dogs on the other hand are outside regardless of the weather and therefore we must pay special attention to their comfort.

Dog Vests

The dog vest is invaluable in cold weather, keeping your dog’s core temperature more easily maintained and helping your dog stay healthy.  They are also often flotation devices, keeping your dog buoyant when swimming after that fowl or fording the stream.  These vests aren’t just fashion statements, they can be a matter of life and death for your hunting dog.  Stores that sell hunting dog supplies, including most sporting goods stores, will have good vests to choose from for your dog.

Dog Doors

Why keep opening the door every time your dog needs to go out or wants back into the house?  A dog door can allow your dog the freedom to come and go as needed without your having to be disturbed.  If you have a safe, fenced yard or containment for your dog when going outside, you can put in an easily-installed dog door and let your dog come and go without your help.  Most of these are too small for people to get through, so they aren’t a security risk, and well-placed doors with the right options are not a heat or air conditioning loser either.

Dog Collars

No matter what kind of dog you have, you will require some specific items for your dog. If you have a hunting dog, one of those items may include a dog collar so that he can become a good, well-trained dog, versus one who wanders off. Corrective collars are great for this purpose and many dog supply places sell these collars. Tracking collars are also great for hunting dogs and more of a necessity than a luxury. You can find these collars at speciality hunting dog stores.

Making sure that your dog regardless of whether he is a pet or hunting companion is well behaved, safe, warm, and comfortable is your responsibility.  Finding your hunting dog supplies can be done in stores or can be done online.
