Positive Gundog Training Conference 2016 (UK)

Well, I did question OH quite hard, but did't get any useful information, so I guess I'll never know!

 

hehehe! Charlie is famous!

 

A photo from the event. This is the clicker gundog session with Leanne Smith, I am with Bramble who was the youngest dog at just under 5 months old. Leanne was demonstrating clicker training the retrieve from puppy through to older dog. The emphasis for a pup was to have fun! We used long tubular toys( not dummies or tennis balls) and initially C&T when Bramble touched the toy...eventually placing the toy on the ground, then gradually working on a good delivery through C&T. Bramble thought this was great fun!

 

Aw Bramble looking so attentive, what a good girl . Loving the fluffy dog taking it easy next to you and obviously enjoying the lesson! x

 

Oh that dog...actually I had convinced myself it was a rug as it barely moved!

 

Beautiful rug Do you know what breed it is Kate? x

 

Isn't it Lisa's Layla? In which case it's an Irish water spaniel and it barely moved because it has a perfectly trained settle. I only wish I could say the same for Charlie....

 

There certainly was a delightful Irish Water Spaniel there. Not sure of its name though.

 

Even though I wasn't there, I think there were two IWS.

 

I can't see either the dog's face, or the handler's face!

 

I think it is the other one
