feel for you Ginny Girl - having exactly the same problem with Livie at the mo
I too have gone down the gundog training route & have enrolled her into two clubs local to my area - Have explained our problem to both & each have slightly different opinions, so we'll try both & see if either will be good for Livie (& me
) I know each trainer has their own methods but I'm going to trust my judgement on whether I like their teachings used & go from there.
I'm no expert but as far as the noisiness goes, if you are only doing for the fun & enjoyment side & to get a better relationship with Bella then I would of thought it not a problem but if you wanted to go on & take it more seriously then maybe it would be - perhaps, when she learns what she can/should be doing, the little noises will stop ....we can but live in hope eh?
Good luck finding somewhere - Manda's (mooching) link is a good place to start. I went on recommendation & searching for one - maybe someone will come along soon, with knowledge of a Trainer in your area - let us know how you get on though
