Thoughts from a mock cold game trial – Åsa & Mio
Mock trials are something that we really like because they give us so much information on where we stand in our training – what works in a “real” situation and what needs more training. We’d like to share a little bit regarding the layout of...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...Useful and fun work
A couple of weeks ago I, Seeker, Seeker, Lena & Tassla were helping out on a protective hunt for pigeons. It was both useful work and a great opportunity for me to see where Seeker and I were at in training. Seeker finds it difficult to hold himself togehter when...The party of the year: Summer camp

We’ve added more films where you can both SEE what hunting, blind...Seeker’s Third Cold Game Trial – let’s test drive the analysis!
A great many things worked well at the last trial, but unfortunately I think that all the self-control that the heeling required made it too hard for him to keep himself together when handling the game. This time the plan was to see how he would handle the game if I...Tod’s first novice cold game trial

I’ve had a hard time processing Seeker’s second cold game trial. I wrote this on Facebook afterwards: ”Fall apart and get back up. That’s how I feel after today’s test. Why do things always have to happen for the first time at a trial? I really hope that this was...Featured Products
