Cookie69 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 He will have been gone 3 wks tomorrow.,, only 9 wks to go feedback from trainer ,, he is walking to heal on and off the lead. doing multiple retrieves to hand, I presume multiple retrieves means he is being directed to placed dummies and has just started on a bit of hunting. he also acts a clown occasionally but at nearly 10mnths old it's to be expected, I act a clown occasionally and im 40 + cant wait for my visit in 3 wks here he is picture sent by trainer today.

Bazooka Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Just out of interest.How long does your dogs trainer think the dog will go before needing to be trained again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie69 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Just out of interest.How long does your dogs trainer think the dog will go before needing to be trained again? Hi Bazooka Don't think the training ever really stops, I will get handlers training at the end and have been advised to carry on with three or four sessions a week. im not expecting to get him back and think that's it job done. however he did say his older dogs get the whole of shooting closed season off, and its like riding a bike for them, they don't forget, but then he is a pro. ill still read the books and watch the dvd's and im sure at some point I may need a lesson in the future if I come across a problem? I would be interested to hear off others who have opted for residential training, and how things were for them after.

Paul You will and you will.Likely within a week or two if you recognise the signs early enough. A month or so if you don't. If you think your dog is going to find it like riding a bike you are sadly mistaken.Your trainers dogs might find it like riding a bike because they have him to keep applying the stabilisers every now and then but you have no stabilisers and you wont get any worth having in the short space of time tagged on "at the end" of his training. Your dog might attempt to keep riding the bike but in reality he's only going to have you inadvertently kicking him off his bike. Best of luck though.
