They used the Covid lockdown to civilise the Somme. Quite tidy now with no plaswads lying about any more.
Strange how different people see different things.
I was once persuaded to attend a charity shoot at Cocketts and nothing would make me go back there. But as I said, I am definitely not a clay shooter.What didn’t you like about cocketts ?

I found by putting a couple of Pigeon wings on a canvas training dummy with elastic bands made the dog a bit keener to retrieve , this method can also be used for water work , as mine have always done a lot of wild fowling I would swap the pigeon wings with Teal , Wigeon and then Mallard , by chucking the dummy into a reed bed would be the sort of work the dog would do at a later date , then when the dog was reliable in finding the dummy in the water I would then make it a bit harder by doing the same in the dark , train them for what you intend using them for and you won't go far wrong .
Thanks mate I’ll give it ago
Thanks everyone for the advice

Very similar to what I done , non of my Labs have had any trouble picking pigeons up , in the early days of training when I moved on from dummy work to cold game , with Pigeons I would start off with a cold feral pigeons as the feathers don't seem as loose as a Wood Pigeon , on the feral pigeon I would put a elastic band around the wings , if it went well then I would have one loose wing and the other one still banded , after about a week you can then use the whole bird , you know in your own mind weather your dog is showing any concerns and if they are then you move back a stage , once they are happy bringing back a cold feral you can then move on to a woodie , use a cold one as the feathers are slightly tighter than a fresh one , when the training is done and you are happy to let your dog pick up a freshly shot pigeon make sure the pigeon is dead and not a lively runner as your dog might be slarvering with excitement and end up with a mouth full of feathers that might put him off if he start choking , take each stage slowly and you will find your dog will soon work out the best way to pick a pigeon up . GOOD LUCK
Thanks for the advice

A lot of dogs apparently get a bit reticent to pick pigeons due to the loose feathers, although I'm lucky none of mine have ever been a problem but here's how I got mine onto pigeons: Grab yourself a few pairs of cheap tights, cut them up so you can stuff dead pigeons into them and tie up the ends. Do some retrieval training like that with plenty of praise/fun involved for the dog. After a while take the odd bird out and let the dog pick it in its natural state, see how you get on. Just don't rush it
Thanks Jim will give it a try can’t fault the dog she works a treat it’s just new to her with the birds
