The Dummy Launcher Workshop: This Is Where It Gets Serious
There's a moment at the shooting field - or the working test, or even just a training session with other handlers watching - where you realise the retrieve isn't the problem. It's everything before the retrieve. The dog that breaks on the shot. The one that's already running before you've even lifted a finger. The one you've asked to sit three times and it's sat twice and the third time you just gave up because everyone's watching. You know the one. It might be yours. That's not a retrieve...
We are getting bigger and better
We have so much new stuff coming up with Kirkbourne. New training sessions. Watch out for new venues too for training. SPANIELS be ready w ehave some new stuff for you too. Too much to mention and get it all out there but its going to be brilliant. Being with kirkbourne family will bring the best out in you and your dog. We have to take small steps to ensure each task we show our dog is understood and sinks in. I myself are offering one to ones in thirsk and I may be tempted to Doncaster now...
