Hi there, my friend has just had this with her black and white Amercian cocker boy, Krissy. They were going to show him but he had what seemed to be a full blown case of canine ADHD! The last problem they had was when he slipped his show lead at Bakewell show last year, ran across two rings and came back covered in mud! Anyway, Karen has experience of training dogs to the gun and suggested that maybe little Krissy was bored of the show ring and that her other half should try to work him. Neil took him to three classes and then tried his hand at being a helper at one of the shoots. Well, the "real" gundog folk with flatcoats,etc and all of the bigger breeds fell about laughing when Neil turned up at the shoot with gorgeous little black and white Khrissy, the "Yank". However, he out ran all of their dogs and won an award for being the best dog at the end of the day. They had to eat their words!!! I've seen Krissy today and he is a totally different dog than he was prior to training, he was fetching and carrying for his mum and dad and aunty Jen was even getting lots of hugs and kisses from him! So much for canine ADHD!!! xx
