The stop whistle with Tod
This week’s blog post is a guest post from our colleage Åsa, from when her working labrador Tod was a young. Here is the continuation of my description of last week’s training session – working on the stop whistle. After having worked on heeling, Tod got...Quling goes to Flush school, part 4
Train, prevent, interrupt. It’s a good motto that I like to bring into my training. I train to teach the dog what I want him to do; I prevent the dog from making mistakes or rehearsing behaviors that are counterproductive to what I want; I make sure to interrupt...Quling goes to Flush school, part 3
Filled with belief in the future, self-confidence and gung ho, all ready to take the next step, I returned to Tomas at Knektagården 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...Quling goes to Flush school, part 2

Do you want to give your dog more freedom off leash? Or do you want to do gun dog work? Then a fool-proof panic stop is vital for your dog to know. During this webinar Elsa and Lena, authors of the book “Retrieving for All Occasions”, will show you the...From black and white to a scale of grey
About a year ago, I decided to basically have one single focus when training with Quling: to get a better cooperation. The time before this decision had been a long and frustrating period where I did not understand my dog and I could not get through to him. He seemed...Featured Products
