I'd like to know how to teach her more gundog exercises (not sure I'd want to go out on a 'real' shoot though) :D

You dont have to work them in field trials. You can do working tests, gundog scurries etc which are all canvas dummy based

Don't be pedantic! You know what Scott means. ::) ::) Especially as this section has been specifically set up to discuss 'working'. If you are unsure look at the description on the home page. ::)

Actually, I'm not - there are people I know who don't consider field trials to be "working".......I just wondered what the general use of the word is, and whether the classes I am looking at fall into this category ?
Trialing is mentioned in this section and field trials in the Other Activities section - are they the same thing, or different ? :huh:

I would class trials and working trials as the same thing. Can't see why they have split.
I think the general aim of this forum is working in terms of gundogs etc
Wendy G:
I am currently training Bailey at the moment for beating,I have had 3 Cockers in the past,Raisen,Badger & Murphy that have all been great beating/rough shooting, and in the case of Raisen pigeon shooting dogs.
Badger also competed in Gundog tests, he was the best trained Cocker that I have owned, having passed the advanced spaniel test at the East Midland Gundog Club, unable to trial him though as he had a fault of sometimes making a noise when on live game, which is not allowed.
Baileys is not doing too bad, didn't have him from a pup, he came to me as a rescue dog at the age of 11 months and I have no history of his parentage at all.Hope to introduce him to the gun soon.

Working Trials are completely different to Field Trials, hence they have been listed in the Other board. Working Trials involve a combination of obedience, agility, tracking and at the highest level, man work (ie police dog work). Cockers can and do compete at the lower levels in Working Trials (but they're too small to progress to the higher levels)
