gun dog clicker training
« on: November 27, 2006, 11:54:53 AM »
as i firmly believe there is more than one way to train a gun dog, i am very, very tempted to do a gun dog clicker training course with helen phillips in jan.

anyone done it?   know of anyone who's done it?

anyone want to do it too (and keep me company?)

Id love to hear how you get on. can it be used at a distance or is it all at hand, ie on a collie with sheep. getting a collie to stop.

it's jan 07th and it's £40.00 so i'm assuming it's just a day.

Have emailed for more details and will let you know ;)

it would be a challenge with the brad and angelina of working cockers in tow :lol: :luv: :luv:

I mailed these guys as well Helen  ;)  and it is a one day course... It's quite a long way for us to come but I think it could be really interesting so I'm thinking about coming along with Don Alfredo  :D

I have just emailed them to for details, my husband is off that week, it's a long way to go but I think it would be really good.  Lots of liver boys together!!!

It will be great if a group of us are all going  :D

I am correct in thinking this is held in Chipping Campden folks? If so this is brilliant as I live about 5 miles away and would love to go.

Bonnie isn`t a working cocker but we would love to have a go with her as she`d love it. It doesn`t matter does it?  :-\

I don't think it would matter that she's not a working cocker but this class is specifically to teach field control and skills like flushing and retrieving.
