Have just been invited along to a shoot - v low-key, with a buddy to follow about for the day who knows me and Hen well:o
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! :o
Little does he know, that spaniel snoozing on the sofa next to me, that the Day of Reckoning is nigh... well, nigh-ish, we can't go to this one due to training (I want to have a go with the trainer and her starting pistol before we dive right in). EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

Good luck with Benson!

Is it possible you are nervous and excited in company and he is reacting to your handling ?....... while in company??? ph34r ...... maybe mum needs to calm down a wee bit .... ;) I take it he will be on a lead on your first shoot..... might be an idea and you possibly need to try and have the same attitude and composure you have when you are alone training with him.... however I know through past experience its always different when in company as we all like our dogs and our own handling to show us in a positive light while with experienced dog handlers in a group situation ..... But you might not get to your first shoot if this snow keeps up ph34r ;) hope it goes well for yah.

JohnW, you are totally right ph34r. I really don't want to end up looking too much of a prat and he is picking up on this for sure! Plus the snow drives him bonkers with excitement anyway :doh:
I have to get from Norfolk to Leicestershire to go (that's dedication for ya) so there are no guarantees of anything... though I do have some friends with huskies, so if I set out now... :005:
