Oddman Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 My cocker is 7 months old. My first dog. Want him to do all round duties on our DIY walk 1 Stand 1 shoot. I've been following Joe Irvine's "learning chain' and things seem to be going well. Recall good on voice and whistle. I can sit him and walk out to 30 yards. He sits to whistle. Wheels fall off a bit when there are distractions. Hunts and retrieves tennis ball and puppy dummy. As a novice I'd like to be sure I'm on the right track. Does anyone have any recommendations for trainers near Halifax? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayano3 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Is novice trainers still ok bigbird? ? It don't sound like you need a trainer mate. The dog is doing well I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
