We are now worried about when we get the barn done and the horses are back in the property. Right now my lab and them are at a stand off. He will stare them down and they will do the same, but if he is not in the back yard they will try to get closer to the house to get the springers to them.
So I want to get them to come out more by the pond so I can get a clean shot. The problem is that they are not scared of people. Before I bought a shotgun this winter last year a few times I was able to get with in about 10-20' feet of them before they started to walk off.
get some #4 buckshot for that shotgun and have at'em... let the Lab toll them in to you, if he'll come when called... look at this site on tolling dogs...
