Re: 1st taste of Gundog traininig [quote author=Jane Martin link=topic=7801.msg114780#msg114780 date=1412445174] I am jealous as I can't find a class How did you find it Debs ? By the way, I am very pleased for you 8) [/quote] Hi Jane, I'm very lucky to have been recommended to go there by my breeder and dog trainer. The bonus is that it is only 15 minutes away from me!
Re: 1st taste of Gundog traininig Sounds really good Debs sounds like Maisie enjoyed herself, even if she was a bit bored for the first hour
Re: 1st taste of Gundog traininig Sound as if Maisie was a star! Hope next week extends you a little more. (But be grateful you weren't the owner of the dog doing the lap of honour with the dummy - Molly did that at her first lesson and I was very red-faced. )
Re: 1st taste of Gundog traininig Well done all round. Good thing to be doing. Concerning the laps of honour with the dummies, the first time I introduced Lady to a dummy with a pheasant skin on it involved a half mile walk to get it back. ;D She ran off with it back in the direction of home and I had to stride off in the opposite direction to get her to follow me and she eventually tipped up the goods after a very long walk over the fields. ;D

They are funny, watching them parade around with their trophies!
Re: 1st taste of Gundog traininig Debs it sounds like it went well for a first class,I bet it takes a bit of getting into for both the Trainer and the group.Maisie sounds like she was a very good girl x
