Dog Trianers
 

Im looking for a good dog trianer to finish a dog that has been started i just bought her and want to get her finished. Looking for a trianer around lake Arthur,Jennings,Lake charles Area any info would help thank you.

My lab was trained by Jackie and Ed Thibodeaux with Satin Belle Retrievers in Morse. I've been extremely happy with her. They split their time between Morse and MN because it gets to hot to work them during the Summer in South LA. You can contact them at 337-581-5135.

Ed Thibodeaux is your best bet in that area. Good luck

how much did he charge? i heard he was very high on his prices.

They're all high.

I definitely don't think you'll be disappointed!

Price could depend a lot on the word "Finish" here...

Everyone high. Seems like going rate is around $500-550/month. I've got one getting trained here around Lafayette.

If Ed can't take her try Robert Authmonte in Lake Arthur.

Yeah you right!! I used Richard and Jan Meche at Briarmarsh kennels. They're off 383 between Iowa and kinder

Robert Authemenet in lake authur

How'd that work out? They run ribbon dogs so they are frowned upon on here.

I'm not sure what "ribbon" means but they did good on my dog.

Here was a thread knocking HT dogs and the Meche's run HT so some on here may frown on them and your dog. Me personally...why not do both.

I told them when I was looking for a trainer, I didn't want a field trial dog, I wanted a hunting dog. They use real birds and teach hand signals. I don't see why people would frown upon that.

It is because people have a hard time understanding that it requires the same skill to be successful hunting dog or ribbon dog.

Well if you're looking for a trainer to teach your dog 500 yard marks with someone standing by the dummy with a white shirt on, you don't want a hunting dog, you want a field trial dog. If you want a hunting dog, go to Richard and Jan. I know I'm not the only satisfied customer.

Better known as a Ribbon Dog

Another one missing the point.

Who's missing the point?

If your idea of a field trial dog one that can fetch a bird from the shadow of a whitecoat at 500 yards, then you are.

Are any of these traits things that would be desirable in your huntingdog? Obedience, steadiness, focus, high prey drive, ability to mark a downed bird, ability to stay in the area of the mark and hunt until the bird is recovered, ability to take direction to an unmarked bird.

These are the same things that field trial trainers need. The training to develop the traits in dogs is exactly the same whether it is hunt test, hunting dog, or field trial. I hope this explains my posts.

I love dog threads.......Lets start making bets on whose dog is better, make up terms for existing words and talk about trial dogs even though only a hand full of people here have been to a sanctioned AKC FT.

Even a mediocre Trial dog will excel as a hunting dog. They can do both.



Oh and I wish that guy in the white coat would stay there (just for my dog of course). The long retired on the water is keeping us in the green instead of the blue.

10 pages or bust..

Now we are on the same page. I couldn't determine which way you were leaning. I do respect field trial dogs and I do know that they do make good hunting dogs. I just wanna know why a man would frown upon a "ribbon" dog and trainer

look back at previous threads......it gets ugly

Guess I'll have to

Because "my dog is better than yours".. end of story.

I think the thread was ribbon vs rock dog, or somethin along those lines??

Yep. Another SaltyCajun classic

I think everyone has switched from hating ribbon dogs to CCA/LDWF.

I'm thinking it will go in a cycle. Hunting season approaches, so its slowly going to season dates, dog trainers, DU, etc.. Gotta b***h about something lol

One cried, 3 lives threatened, the most absurd challenge ever, and 15 dogs quit retrieving altogether in that thread. Butt hurt galore.

People will cry

If your dog does what you need him to do and you're not going stomp through the mud to get ducks or geese, I don't see where it matters what other people think. I've had people hunt with me and are really pleased with my dog and his work ethic.

Please explain

Have a laugh D. Life isn't that serious and neither was that thread.

FDU

here we go again man u have got to love salty cajun!!!!!!!!

I have been out of the dog training loop for about 10 years so I do not know many of the guys who have been training for less than that. I do know that Ed T has been the best around for a long time. These others may be good but I would go with experience. Good luck getting your dog trained.

I know em and I say again, Ed Thibodeaux.

obviously still butt hurt

Oh I am laughing, and I was DEAD SERIOUS on that thread buddy. I put up my money on my rock dog!!!!!!

How you get butt hurt,I put up and he shut up

LOL, you made up a term then made a bet. The only thing that you won at was proving that you don't know dog related terms. (once again that was not a dig at your dog so don't get all butt hurt again)

No butt hurt here buddy I said a 400 yrd blind and you get one cast. SIMPLE

That's not a blind and if we are looking at the correct terminology, you wanted one initial line, a cast involves stopping the dog then sending.

Look i have guided for 8 years and have hunt alot of dogs. I have hunted plain ole hunting dogs and field trial dogs i would take a plain ole hunting rock dog over a field trial dog to my blind any day of the week!!! I asked about a trianer for my new dog because i work offshore and dont have the time to train a dog myself anymore. If yall want to really have a competion yall just come down and meet me and ole deadly D and we will put our rock dogs up againest any field trial dog out there and see whos comes out on top!!!! when your dog picks up 500 to 700 birds a year if not more and im talking about birds not dummys then you have a hunting dog. RANT OVER!!!!!!!!
