Course with Helen Phillips
Last year we had no summer camp because it didn’t fit so well with our lives then. Instead, I had longed for and focused on going to a camp myself. In July, Helen Philips from the UK came to Edsäng in Hälsingland, invited by Eva Thorén. Helen has written the...Retriever class with Seeker and Tassla
Once a month this spring, Elsa, Seeker, Elsa’s baby Viola and I, got into Elsa’s car and drove to Skåne to attend a class. My role was to babysit the world’s cutest baby and I also made sure to learn as much as possible by observing the participants and listening to...Straight Lines Over Obstacles
A straight line from A to B might seem obvious to us, but it’s not at all as obvious to the dog. Particularly in hilly terrain or if there are obstacles such as fences, fallen trees or brushwood in the way.

Every year we have a gun dog summer camp which is just so much fun so we wanted to share a story from our second summer camp a couple of years ago. The previous year’s camp was amazing and this camp was at least as fantastic, according to many of those whom...Challenging Water Work

It is one way to hunt and the dogs and handlers walk on a long line a...Gun dog work on film and in photos
We’ve now made some nice changes to the page called Gun Dog Retrieving. You can read a short description of all the different parts of a field trial as well as see films and photos of these parts. We’ve added more films where you can both SEE what hunting, blind...The second day with the Spaniels
When going through my notes I found some interesting ones from a seminar I attended several years ago and thought I would share it with you. We’ve had our second gathering of the foundation class for Spaniels with Catharina Fahlberg. Remind me to never ever plan to...Do as I Say! (casting)
To work with independent dogs Diesel is a very independent dog, and I have to work hard to convince her that it actually pays off to listen to me when she “knows” (or think she knows…) what she should do. There are, of course, many advantages with an...Featured Products
