The recall – the road to freedom
Since the quite cataclysmic Finnish debacle this winter when Quling “did” Finland by hunting and disappearing into the Finnish forests, flushing pheasant after pheasant, hunting like a maniac for 15 minutes completely out of my control, I’ve mostly...When sports collide
Sometimes I get the question if I am not worried that my different dog sports are going to collide with each other. Am I not running the risk of confusing my dog; won’t it mix up what to do? Tassla and I did done a lot of competitive obedience younger. For a...When there is too much of a party all the time!
Our “fika” training post from last week was very much appreciated – so we decided to write some more about it! The absolute biggest challenge in my training is to find a balance between active training and calm “just hanging out”. I have,...“Fika” training

I think that one of the great things about clicker training is that we can use the environment as the reward when suitable. Last...Tassla, all tough and interested in birds!
I keep going through the archives and today I’ll share a story of Tassla’s first flush with you. It was in 2013, when she was roughly 1.5 years old. Now we have made our first real flush! Some training buddies and I went to Skåne and, under competent and...Water test for spaniel – first trial
I looked through the archives once again and found a blog post from 2013 on Tassla’s first water test in – enjoy! 🙂 Today I have been away with Tassla and started at a water test! Two trials were on the agenda: What is called the Beginner’s Water...Featured Products
