Creative distraction training
Simply put, we can say that we make our training more difficult in three ways: By increasing distance or duration and by adding distractions. However, never at the same time. Working with distractions is a way to proof what we’ve trained the dog to do. If we get...The trial where anything can happen: Open class for spaniels
You’ll probably know it by know – I found more great stuff in the archives 🙂 This story is from 2017 when I was a game carrier at a spaniel field trial. We’ve been to our first open class trial for spaniels. But we were on the standby list and never...The art of rewarding with a rabbit enclosure
Do you sometimes feel that your rewards fall way short compared to that fun distraction that your dog would much rather interact with?

Filled with belief in the future, self-confidence and gung ho, all ready to take the next step, I returned to Tomas at KnektagĂĄrden for another visit to Flush school. It had been 2-3 weeks since our last visit. It was time to add a flushing to the hunting. Considering...Featured Products
