Hi, with Alfie's apparent High working drive, obsession with chasing birds and the fact his background of FTCH is outstanding, we are looking to start going to gun dog training, we dont want to work him and put him into trials but feel that training would be beneficial.
If we could get into working him and go beating then the OH would love that.
Alfie seems to be a natural learn, brilliant at recall, sit, stay etc, we need to work on his heal though.
But we have bought dummy's and throw into rough terrain etc etc to get him the feel for it, we have bought a whistle too. Now he is a year old we can get him into a gun dog club. they wouldnt take him before he was one?
Anyway we are yet to buy books but who better to ask then well experienced COL'ers
What are the general commands on the whistle?
