Re: Gundog puppy session Look forward to hearing all about it! Benson really enjoyed his session, I think our trainer made things really interesting for Benson
Re: Gundog puppy session So Max and I went to see Geoff Shore yesterday. Lovely man. Lots of very informative and helpful advice and with a beautifully trained Labrador named Jake Max was brilliant although he did almost run off on the way back to the car - furthest he's ever been away from me to date! - but thankfully he came back when I called him lol. We have a lot of tips to work on and Geoff made me feel a lot better about the whole training issue. I'm very aware that I have this brilliant little dog with excellent heritage and am terrified of ruining him! Bit more relaxed now Well worth the money and I would highly recommend him.
Re: Gundog puppy session Glad you both enjoyed it! Geoff is a very patient trainer, we learned so much, and Benson just loves working with Geoff! Think we have another lesson in a couple of weeks
Re: Gundog puppy session Think I'm going to try this after suggestions from lots of people as Harley loves retrieving a lot. Can you PM me his number please
Re: Gundog puppy session Oh you must take Harley to Geoff Naya! He will love her Not that I know anything about gundogs but she is so keen on the retrieve isn't she? :
Re: Gundog puppy session She really does love retrieving Kate even being injured, she wants to retrieve so I have been doing blind retrieves rather than throwing the ball....she has loved it also, I've been walking off with her ball dropping it, walking off then releasing her. It has been challenging finding things to keep her busy that don't involve jumping or running. We started lead walking today so hopefully that will use some of her energy : Geoff sounds like a really good gun dog trainer going to call him this week to have a chat
Re: Gundog puppy session Really glad that you and Max had a great time!! A good trainer (of dogs and humans) is worth their weight in gold
