Morning All ,
I realise I haven't posted for ages and as this forum was so helpful for me and Jett in the puppy stages I thought i'd give you an update.
Jett is now 3 years old, he is one crazy cocker spaniel. When I say crazy I mean absolutely mental
. I was thinking by now he would of chilled out a bit, but no not with Jett
. He is that crazy, people actually think he is still a puppy!
He just loves other dogs (especially cockers) and he loves people.
He is a clever dog as he knows he is not doing a job/training he knows he can enjoy himself. But as soon as I need him to do something, he does it and he does it very well. He seems to take good satisfaction for completing a task, this could be a retrieval or a simple task like getting my slippers (haha).
We are still working on the gundog training and he has passed his bronze award and we are working towards silver.
6 months ago we started another evening training course, this is more of an obedience training. The aim is to work up from bronze to gold. Its quite good as it reinforces the basic training as I was finding that over time I was being a bit lazy and not doing the correct commands. So its a good reminder for me and also Jett. He has his good citizen test coming up so hopefully he can pass that.
Like all dogs none of them are perfect, he still barks
and goes crazy when I let him out the back door. I've tried everything but he still does this. Putting him on a lead stops this, until I take him off the lead.
Lead walking has always been a problem as he is such a puller, off lead he is good and will stick by me, on lead he needs to be ahead.
Anyway enough of my waffling, hope you are all well and enjoying this beautiful breed of dog.
