Gundog Training Forum

In the text I posted in the beginning, it sounds alot like it's all dominance and the dog gotta do as they say and so on. Also the text they have written themselves is a bit misleading I think, it's not much dominance going on at their place. They have one rule for all their dogs, and thats is. &qu...

Just take a look at these 2 clips. The first one shows a Golden that have only done a few retrieves in his life. The second one is showing some training before the swedish championship in 2013. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gHWpi-cI3g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnBz-_s5C9M&t=312s That d...

I agree with MM, it infers a lot but says little of practical use. And thinking on pack theory has moved on. Dogs have little to do with lions, wolves or wild dogs and what we once thought of the workings of their pack systems has been found to be wrong. The nearest we can find to domestic dogs are...

Again, thank's for all the replies from everyone. And again, I'm just a normal young man with the interest of spaniel training and hunting, and not some crazy person trying to spread the word of Jesus or something

No problem, and thanks for your reply :) Just gotta add a little thing in the end. The two persons I talk about, Bengt and Gunilla, knows a few of the top spaniel trainers in the UK and from time to time they travel over to visit them. One thing they often keep telling all the swedish "pet owne...

Just to make it clear. I have no interest in posting this other than to show it to other people. Me myself is just a happy young man in the beginning of his spaniel career. Nothing I love more than spend time with my dogs out in the nature working with them. I also eager after more knowledge and the...

With follow, I don't mean follow like that's what the dog does all the time, but gundog trainers teach their dog to heel, right? Just take a look at these 2 clips. The first one shows a Golden that have only done a few retrieves in his life. The second one is showing some training before the swedish...

I agree with kent. The dog knows when the long lead is on and when its off. Earlier I used a lot of force when training. Ex. when the dog disobeyed the recall, I got to him, pulled a lead on and dragged him back with force while I repeated the recall command with gruff voice. Now, I have changed my ...

Hi there! I know there are some threads on this subject, but couldn't find any that gave answer to my questions. I’m a student that plans to get my own working cocker as fast as im done with my education. This dog will mainly be used as a working dog. My parents got a springer spaniel that lives in ...
