Mochastorm Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I have a 13 week old Springer bitch. I have searched the forums to find a recommended book/manual that would assist me, as a beginner, regarding the training of the chocolate eyed devil. I have been unable to find something to suit my needs. Any pointers as to what is current and informative would be very much appreciated.

WGD Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Training Spaniels by Joe Irving BUT some of his chastisement you need to be careful with if you have a soft dogs, which a lot of today's spaniels are. Better IMO investing in a set of DVDs. David Lisset's (Bucchleuch Gundogs) are the best I think, they are expensive but worth it. Simon Tyers (Hawcroft Gundogs) are also very good.

I can never agree about film over books personally but your point on correction is spot on the issue is actually recognising what you have in front of you , many struggle purely by mis- reading this aspect alone. Hard spaniels and soft pit bulls still non the less do exist just to throw the spanner in the best laid plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I can never agree about film over books It's like this, Kent - a picture's worth the proverbial thousand words, and a moving picture (video) is worth 10,000 words when after watching it, you follow up with an actual gundog trainer who needn't even be as celebrated as Mssrs. Tyre, Lissett or even Halstead. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Mochastorm I will ask again, did you receive the book I sent to you by first class post last Saturday? I note that you were on the forum yesterday and that my previous enquiry went unanswered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
