https://www.essentialfoodsgb.co.uk my pup loves it.very high meat content for a dry food

Thank you for that mate I will take a look

Yes mate seems that way with permission going to start looking when I’ve got my license.What you reckon is best clay ground in local area ?

Hi mate from Rotherham

Hi all Joined up a couple of months ago for advice with my new cocker pup.This has already developed into needing to be a full blown countryman keep plugging away at the wife to get on with my shotgun licence which I gave up 15years ago after finding going out drinking with mates so stopped going shooting. Delivery’s keep turning up new coat new trousers she will get the picture soon and before long I will be out on the pigeon scaring them away with my loud bangs and hopefully 1 will fall from the noise before coming home to blame my gun for not being the right fit and then trying to find a gun that fits better. Thanks

Thanks for the advice lads

That’s great 1st gundog and never done any training before.Had a patterdale years ago which turned nasty so just making sure same doesn’t happen again.Like I said there no aggression at all just noisy glad to hear it’s fine and normal

Cocker Pup coming up 12 weeks I have been doing basic recall and sit.Retrieving not great easily distracted when on field so only do 2 and then put ball or dummy away but a soon as dog picks it up he starts running back and grumbling no aggression tail wagging very excited and I can take dummy from him just noisy.How do you stop this as I don’t want it turn the other way and go aggressive.Hands In bowl when feeding him no problem.Is it normal to grumble when excited.cheers

Thanks for the reply’s

It’s essentials beginning food it’s dry food 85% meat 15% veg it’s a danish company feeding instructions are adult weight of dog then you gauge that against current age of dog. He’s 9.5 weeks old and it recommends 165g per day at that age.Wormed him on wed.Will keep an eye on him he’s put 400grams since we got him he’s 4.2kg now.cheers for the reply’s

Hi all had my pup 2 weeks now coming along great.He is a decent sized dog last couple of days looking on thin size.His food asks for adult weight and then his current age and give you grams to feed he’s on essential the beginning food.What do you think would be the estimated weight of adult dog cocker I’m going on about 13/14kg is that about right.thanks

Thanks for the reply’s been looking at reviews and most say smocks are too warm for general weather and not willing to pay £200 for 1.Think I may try a jacket been looking at percussion brand clothing looks ok and good price

Yes from yorkshire pal currently got no shooting pal going to work on that over next few months

Kids are 7 and 4 I will have to keep an eye on them so they don’t over do it.yes makes sense,looking forward to him coming and starting training

👍👍👍

Thanks for all the advice can’t wait to pick him up now and hope the training goes well

Thanks for the reply’s sound very encouraging I am getting a cocker.Kids wanting to play fetch with it so will just have to make it part of training and make sure kids do it rite.Watched a few trailing dog training dvd and there seem to be so many do and don't.I.e never looks like they just go for a family walk or owt.Wife keeps saying it not just my dog it’s the family’s.Want the dog for hopefully pigeon shooting/rough shooting/beating.Cheers

Recommendations wanted for dog training/walking smock waterproof and breathable and not going to rip at the sight of thorns.cheers

Anyone had any luck with training a new pup and also being a house pet.Any tips
