I agree and this is where I was going. I've attended Georges training seminars in the past and I personally dont see any damage being done to the dog. An example would be my dog gets up in the early...

I might not have been clear about the way I worded a sentence. If the stimulation is so slight that I personally can't feel that level of stimulation with my fingers but the dog can feel it, I have a...

Your telling me that a stimulation so small that I cant feel it is going to adversely affect the dog biochemically...............
Could you point me to the research?

What if I'm using not to stop an un-wanted behavior but to produce a desired behavior?

You dont understand how to use it properly then.............

Falconers have been using OC for as long as there has been falconry............:D

It was exactly what I was looking for.....

But wait a minute, I just realized something. Were you calling me "old" or an "old dog" or both...................toungeouttoungeout:D

Thats what I've been doing as well, I was just curious if it was possible to do it "better".
Now on to think of another question I can word wrong......:eek::D

Thanks Geoff

It would help if i knew the jargon of OC for sure. But you did answer my guestion and I appreciate that.clapp:D

In order to take full advantage of OC when I have a newly trapped hawk on the fist. Do I want to use my whistle/voice whatever, every time the bird takes a bite? Or just the first time?

Excellent points Fred,Paul,Pete, and Chris......clapp
I agree that I'm there to hunt, not spend countless hours teaching my bird to accept every situation.:D

(welc) to Nafex. Oh, we like pictures.toungeout:D

Ya, I'm of the opinion that modern falconry hasnt done a lot to improve upon what Michell and Stevens wrote about. The language has changed perhaps and maybe the "why" it works is better. Excluding...

Ok, that makes sense, thank you.

I'll have to give that some thought.....:D

Hi Jeff

In what way does it make a difference?

Personally, I dont believe it would make any difference at all.....:D

What is it you want to train your hawk to do? Chances are its been done for several thousand years under another name......

(welc) to Nafex. But before the signature police get ya...be sure to sign your posts....toungeout

Oh indeed they are......................;):D

There used to be an airport in Vernal, I learned to fly there. Is it not there anymore....?
