Training on your walks #FTW
My students often wonder how much and when to train. I usually share my super tip: training on your walks! Occasionally, I’ll do short training sessions indoors, train with friends for a few hours, attend a seminar or join a hunt for a full day. Although we work...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

To train water work is both fun and challenging. Most spaniels and retrievers love water and sometimes they get too excited as soon as they approach water. Therefore, we prefer to do a lot of calm exercises instead of training marked retrieves on water, which might...Walk up
When we were in England at a summercamp with Dogs for life and Philippa Williams a couple of years ago we did a lot of ”walking on a line” or rather a “walk up” because that’s what it is called. 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...
