lee-kinsman Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Thank you to everyone for you very encouraging comments. It was suggested that I'm include all the videos on one thread for ease of reference so this is the new thread. If the mods think it appropriate to pin this thread that would be really kind. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do. Kind regards from me and Flash.

michufc Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Lee I am really enjoying the videos mate I was wondering if you used treats as rewards or just fuss as I am going to pick up my new pup in the morning I have been watching these a picking up some really good tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee-kinsman Posted October 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thank you all. Michufc, I use cheese as a treat for training recall, sit and stop but only for a short while. When the pup starts to mature a bit treats will stop because IMO obedience with gundogs cant be maintained with treats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 That is a brilliant method to train steadiness. I wish I had watched that three years ago because I struggled to steady my cocker (steady as a rock now, for the record) any new handlers will find that VERY useful indeed. Well done lee, great vid. I like the fact that your vids are unedited, it brings a real life feeling to it . Keep it real mate its so much better that way 👍 Ps You sound close to the 65 there 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you 😊 Little Flash had me over with running in a couple of times but hes a gentle biddable pup so nothing more than the sound of my discontentment is enough to make him think. He came to at the end. Later Ill train the retrieve before quartering but wanted to burn some energy out of him first otherwise I dont think hed have taken the steadiness as well as he did. It was filmed at a place called Crown Point next to a car park for the Singing Ringing Tree. A nice ungrazed area with lots of white grass and rushes to start a pup off. Lots of boy racers etc use the bendy roads to see how close they can get to crashing. Edited October 27, 2017 by lee-kinsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I wasn't far off then 😉 Everyone is now googling the singing ringing tree 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Another great video Lee. Do You use that method for steadying all your dogs? I think I would have struggled to use that method with my cocker as he would wrestle passed me, so I wondered if you have an alternative method for training steadiness. Once again though, great video. I always look forward to the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee-kinsman Posted October 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Thank you Labstaff. The pup in video has quite a submissive nature, he quickly understands with little correction what is required so the method that I use in the video works with him. A pup that is harder headed I might put the lead on or stand between the pup and the retrieve or hold the pup until it settles then sit it then send it. I try to be flexible and find the kindest way of training the pup so as to avoid displeasure for us both. Hope that makes sense. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 really good on the stop whistle for such a young pup ? out of interest do you ever allow free play , run ins for a ball or do you advocate total steadiness ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
