Dog Training

If you walk into our Lion Country Supply retail store in central Pennsylvania you should receive a greeting, followed-up by, -Is there anything we can help you with." Regardless of what you are looking for, you can expect an additional question of, -What kind of dog do you have?" It helps in product guidance and just makes for good general conversation.

We can feel it. Can you? We know your dog can. The days are getting shorter and nights are getting cooler. The fall hunting season is right around the corner and all of the hard work you and your dog have put in is about to pay off. Some say there are four seasons in a year but at Lion Country Supply we know there are only two.

I'm Eric with Lion Country Supply and I'm here to talk to you today a little bit about some of the start pistols that we offer. These three guns are in the Champion Pistol and Shotgun Primer pistol line that we have. Champion pistols are available in .22 and .32 calipers. The .22 Continue reading?

E-collars which are also known as remote collars are operated remotely with a handheld controller. While many people consider e-collars nothing more than a shock collar used to correct bad pet behavior, e-collars have greater uses beyond behavior correction. Location tracking is one of those uses. Over the next few weeks we'll be doing a short article series on e-collars.

Some trainers follow strict off-season conditioning regimes for their dog and many begin conditioning just a few weeks before the hunting season begins. And then there are those who never think about off-season conditioning their dog. Can you imagine lying around on the couch for eight or nine months, then suddenly waking one morning to run a 5k road race?

If you are Christmas shopping for the new upland bird hunter in your life you'd probably like to get him that one special Christmas gift like a tracking and training e-collar or remote bird launcher. Either of these items would be great gifts that are sure to please and excite an upland bird hunter on Christmas Continue reading?

With the aid of microscopes and telescopes, we can see things that no other animals can see. With sound amplification equipment, we can hear things that no other animals can hear. But we cannot even begin to approach the olfactory sensitivity of dogs. Dogs live in a world of smells that does not exist for humans, and while most trainers use verbal commands and hand signals to train dogs, the dog's strongest sense is rarely used in training.

At the recent Bird Dog Days event Ed Rader gave some valuable tips on basic gundog training your pup. Ed talked about how dogs are pack animals, and pack animals will respect and obey the leader of the pack. He gave plenty of tips on training with close, hands-on methods using association and repetition. While his training tips are very useful for gun dog training, many of these methods work just fine when training the family dog. Ed says that establishing you as the pack leader are the very basics of where good training begins. If your dog doesn't respect you as the leader he will not perform for you.

Here is a fun little video from our friend Dave to get you pumped for hunting season!

The safety of my dogs is my primary concern when hunting. My goals on any hunt, in order of importance, are as follows: Everyone (people and dogs) safe and healthy at the end of the day, the beagles get a good chase, and rabbits get put in the game vest. If you are on this website, then you are a dog guy like me. There are plenty of people in the field, however, who are not. Let me relate a scary narrative for you.

Hi, I'm Eric with Lion Country Supply. I'm here today to introduce you to the all-new Garmin Alpha TT15 Mini bundle and the Garmin Alpha TT15 extra collar. Customers tell us all the time here at Lion Country Supply that the existing TT15 is a little large and heavy for smaller breeds. Well Garmin has solved that problem with the TT15 Mini.

The new T5 mini has a smaller physical size as you can see compared to the original T5. The collar strap can fit down to a 9.5 inch neck. It has a lighter weight at 7 ounces. compared to 9 ounces with the original T5 collar. It also has a sleep mode, which allows you to shut the collar on and off from the hand held, allowing you to conserve battery life. You can also turn the beacon lights on and off from the hand held.
