Post by: ghosthunter on November 21, 2012, 01:16:27 PM: Maybe I will give them a call. Yeah a buddy of mine had his dog get some training there with Bucko.

But I think I would rather do the training myself. I did my first dog and was happy with the results. If I run into some problem I might go down and see them.
Back when Gary Abbott was there I took my first dog for a eval and they told me I had done a real good job with her.

I not could get them past wife when we were there.
She thinks it is bad to let the sharp tooth puppy carry live birds.
She know I do it. But I don't tell her about it.

catching 'em is cheap, and leagl. Since they are all invasive crap species.
just go at night, and you can pretty much grab 'em with your hands und an over pass, or at a dock.
