I’ve got a 2 year old male Springer, he’s a super dog (‘full of beans’) and we have a strong bond...but he does often run off too far, especially along and towards hedges. So having seen what you’ve been doing with a Ruby, I’ve started to put some work in and keep his interest in the near ground, and I think it’s working! I wish I would have done this earlier but you’ve shown it’s not too late, so I will persevere. Thank you, and I’ll be watching your other videos 👍
Brilliant as ever George 2 weeks on Saturday our new girl is coming for a lifetime of pleasure in the shooting field, we lost our 14 year old top gun dog and friend 1 year ago many magical times and memories still got my cocker of 11 years, great to watch your videos for relearning and tips,
Morning gun dog and fly ,, I think your training videos a fantastic I’m getting my first sprocker in four wks now and will be a pup I will most definitely taking tips from your videos - Marsha will be my first gun and the first dog I’ve ever trained , I don’t doubt it will be hard word but I actually looking forward to it all and getting to know my new best friend,, thanks for your work very inspirational,, kind regards Marc
Thanks George for another great video, my mate lost his dog not long ago and get a new one, i send the link to this video to him to see it.Our duck shooting season opens the first week of May and hopefully the dog will be ready.Have a great day and regards from NZ, Tony.
Looking forward to following Ruby's training. Thank you for the tip ...that even where you train can be significant (using the roughly ground to help limit her view of the horizon and her need to run) Its even the smallest of tips like this that can absolutely transform my training with my dog. Thank you .
I have a gun dog breed which I got as a rescue dog and I am definitely struggling with leadership. My girl is a pet but I’m realising that she responds much better to gun dog training than sheepdog style training. I just tried out this exercise and it was remarkable. My big realisation was that I can keep control of the ball by throwing it up and back to myself.
As soon as the dog no longer needs it,ie when it has become trained to stay close.The ball can be reintroduced if necessary at any point in the future or to help with other aspects of training.
Condition your dog to see you as a leader for easier training..
Excellent dog
Indeed..

Beautiful dog and i will be trying more of your tips with my sprocker spaniel.......thank you.

There is nothing more sad than a mismatched owner and dog. Both end up miserable and frustrated. I'm happy to hear Ruby is now your dog, Mr. George.
Thanks Terry, she's a very happy dog now it seems.
