To be honest I would not be letting him hunt at all and would knock this on the head now ;)

It will create a rod for your own back with anything else in the future as he will be more interested in hunting and chasing (and killing).  You won't be able to recall him if he has a strong self fulfilling hunt instinct.

He's supposed to be a show cocker!

My other boy (9 years old) is a worker but shows no working instinct at all.

Loxley is almost 10 weeks old now and he's supposed to be a show cocker! He's absolutely mental he's wired! I've stopped him from going onto the lawn at night! We keep an eye on him in the day and keep picking him up and moving him away from the areas where we know the vowl's are!

We have looked online and it states to remove logs / branches and items in the garden that could be used as cover for the vowl's and to cut the grass low! This will discourage them from staying around!

We are really trying our best to discourage this behaviour.

My best ever working spaniel was a show cocker, some of them do not know they are supposed to just model for chocolate box photos

I really want to take him to puppy training classes, but I'm having trouble finding ones around here "worksop" where I can take him when I'm not working. I.e. Fridays or Saturdays
