Title: dog training
Post by: follow maggie on August 18, 2010, 05:01:33 PM

So we're coming up on the new year in a few weeks and it's time to start serious work with Maggie.  Does anyone know of some ponds in the Kitsap area where I could work on retrieves through the decoys?  I've not had any luck finding good trainng spots.

Thanks for any help.

Look at Google Earth and see what water ways are close.

There's a few across the hood canal bridge that i know are not busy at all...sandy shore and out at tarboo lake.  not sure if that's too far or not.

Thanks for the help, guys.  I was down to Tahuya on Friday and found a nice pond to work Maggie.  She had a great time, and didn't mess the decoys up too bad.  Gonna try up around Kingston this week.  Appreciate it.

I didn't know you could hunt birds on Hood Canal.  Do you need a boat?
