kcrabtree Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I have just bought a working Cocker spaniel pup. Obviously early days, but has anyone got any recommendations for a good book on gun dog training? Ideally focused on spaniels. Thanks in anticipation Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jame Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 After reading a few over the past year, this book I found I related 2 more than any other with some great tips "Training The Working Spaniel" by Janet Menzies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcrabtree Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks for the ideas, there seem to be so many books out there I didn't want to waste time on ones that were not very good Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I might be a bit biased towards Janet's book as she bred my red dog's sire though Joking aside it is a great book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berettacocker Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 What about a DVD, probably easier to take in than a book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andra Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 After reading a few over the past year, this book I found I related 2 more than any other with some great tips "Training The Working Spaniel" by Janet Menzies. A well written book I have trained my working cocker of nearly three using this book and now referring to it for training my 10 month old springer....

kcrabtree Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 "Training The Working Spaniel" by Janet Menzies. Reading this now and it does seem to be an excellent book full of common sense and lots of tips aimed at the first time trainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
