Residential Training with Kala the Cocker Spaniel and Hunter the Springer Spaniel. · 22 August 2011
Barbara and Simon entrusted Kala and Hunter to me while they were away recently. Hunter has been stopping short with retrieves of late and is a little too keen during training which leads to a lack of focus at times.

Gundog Training Group, Preston, Lancashire. · 16 May 2011
I don’t know where to begin with this weeks gundog training post, it seemed that whatever could go wrong did! It was evident that a handful of gundogs present weren’t disciplined when waiting and whined when other gundogs were sent for retrieves.
