[QUOTE="Red Earth, post: 1381248, member: 14736"] A dogs hearing goes naturally just as humans. Sitting in a closed blind rapidly accelerates the process! I bent down in our blind to get something last week... birds came in and the crew shot! Instant headache and I couldn't hear over the ringing for an hour!!!! I have trained pointing dogs for a year or two, and this is where one of my pet peeves come in with lab guys. Don't get me wrong... I don't have a problem with the dogs, I have Chessie's too, Just the training mentality. Most labs are directed to down birds. Whistle, hand, or spoken commands. They are hardly left to think or use their nose on their own. Few are trained to track...and if they are, most are taught improperly,(same goes for most dog breeds here though!!!!) I would still hunt with your dog if she knows what her job is. There is no reason to speak sentences to them anyway! Take only people you trust to shoot over her. My rule in our blind with any dog is.... If I see your gun come up on a low flyer while the dog is out.... YOU Will GET CLUBBED HEAVILY ABOUT THE HEAD! Never invited back, that is if you can make it back to your truck! Take the dog out... let her enjoy the latter part of her life....until it starts getting dangerous for her! PJ [/QUOTE]
