Casting is so much fun!
Besides the actual hunting with a spaniel – which when it flows is an experience that’s hard to beat – I really enjoy working on casting. I think I enjoy it so much because it’s possible to vary that training indefinitely. It’s just...Do as I Say (casting) #ThrowBackThursday
Today’s #ThrowBackThursday blog post is about getting the dog to do as I say – and not anticipate what I’m going to say. Do as I Say! (casting) Retrieving for All Occasions - Foundations for Excellence in Gun Dog TrainingShare...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.

A straight line from A to B might seem obvious to us, but itâs 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. Running straight across a football field or along a path...The party of the year: Summer camp
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 yearâs camp was amazing and this camp was at least as fantastic, according to many of those whom...Challenging Water Work
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 âwalking on a lineâ or rather a âwalk upâ because thatâs what it is called. It is one way to hunt and the dogs and handlers walk on a long line a...Featured Products
